Lyrics
What’s with the grim look
You seem sort of shook
Did you hear on the news today
The war has been won
The long burden is done
And I can’t help but smile this way
Been waiting the days and the nights
In hopes that they’ll stop all the fights
And now that’s it’s done
Come I’ll sing you a song
For the sky’s looking bluer today
A family of three
Just my mother and me
For my brother got sent away
After seven long years
Through the sweat and the tears
He will get to come home today
His brothers in arms chant and scream
Today only seems like a dream
They drink and they toast
To the ones they love most
For their shoulders feel lighter today
(Bus driver take me home)
(Bus driver take me home)
(Bus driver take me home)
‘Cause this soldier boy has lost his reason to roam
After three nights
Our family unites
And the cheers are heard down the street
The marching parade
And the band’s serenade
That night no one got any sleep
Hand in hand we stood
Rejoicing like we never could
Just in one day
All our stress went away
And our troubles were gone for good
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
‘Cause this soldier boy has lost his reason to roam
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
‘Cause this soldier boy has lost his reason to roam
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
‘Cause this soldier boy has lost his reason to roam
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
‘Cause this soldier boy has lost his reason to roam
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
‘Cause this soldier boy has lost his reason to roam
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
Bus driver take me home
‘Cause this soldier boy has lost his reason to roam
