You’re Crazy for Taking the Bus

[Verse 1]
Well, a welfare gal and her drunk galoot
And nobody wearing a three piece suit
You meet folks this way you just don't see while flying
So, you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

[Verse 2]
Well, a welfare gal and her drunken cuss
And Pepsi cans rolling round the bus
Add newspapers and grit and you've got slime
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

[Pre-Chorus]
Where it's Salt Lake City, everybody off
Salt Lake City, everybody off
With Elko, Welles and Reno down the line
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

[Chorus]
"But Jonathan
You're crazy for taking the bus"
"Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss?"
"Two whole days on that stinking bus?"
"Yes, and I sleep fine
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time"

Go Donnie, tell 'em

[Verse 3]
Look at it this way
They don't want my name
And I don't want their baggage claim
My guitar is seated right where I am
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

[Verse 4]
Well, you got the old fat guy in his old tank top
The Wendover casino stop
And then of course Winnemucca and Welles and Anaheim
So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's Salt Lake City, everybody off
Salt Lake City, everybody off
With Elko, Welles and Reno down the line
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time

[Chorus]
"But Jonathan
You're crazy for taking the bus"
"Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss?"
"Two whole days on that stinking bus?"
"Yes, and I sleep fine
So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time"
