Lyrics
On the bus the old lady with the glassy stare faced toward the window
Carries on a conversation with someone who's not there
You should see the grins and hear the innuendo
Fellow riders all around who don't know her situation put her down
This is the reason she needs escape
From being in a world where people don't hesitate to be cruel and unyielding
How can there be a healing this way?
This is the reason she needs escape
From being in a world with less love and more hate
She don't care that it's displeasing
This is the reason
On the bus the old lady keeps her demeanor plus
She's in a place where sunny skies are all around her
No one there has ever acted like an evil cuss
With smiles and fond attention they just crown her
Why wouldn't it be in her heart
Never to return somewhere that's cold and dark?
Those who gave her care are gone
Those whom she hold dear seem so busy with their lives
She feels the neglect
Show her some respect
