Bus 109

Bus 109 - Kate Campbell/Rodney Crowell/Nanci Griffith

They forced it on the county school board

And made a lot of people mad

They planned to bus us off across town

And things got really bad

That's when the private schools were started

And they opened in a rush

But daddy said come September

You'll be riding bus

109 bus

109 bus

You'll be fine

On bus 109

I met Lavonna Jones in gym class

She said my hair had no curl

We played basketball together

But came from different worlds

Lavonna lived down in the projects

Compared to her I had so much

You know my life was changed forever

All because of bus

109 bus

109 bus

I'll be fine

On bus 109

One day Lavonna came to my house

What people thought didn't matter to us

When the lines were drawn by colors

We crossed the line on bus

109 bus

109 bus

We'll be fine

On bus 109

109 bus

109 bus

We'll be fine

On bus 109
