They forced it on the county school board |
|
And made a lot 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 |
|
(I'll) |
|
(We'll) |
|
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 |
|
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 |
