Lyrics

[Verse]
On the school bus every mornin', I ride with a smile,
Got a beard that's grown a mile, ain't shaved in a while.
Forty years of livin', but one thing ain't yet,
Never known a woman's love, but I got no regrets.

[Verse 2]
Kids are always laughin', call me Santa Claus,
But I keep 'em in line, never missin' the cause.
Lonely nights are plenty, but the job's got my heart,
Makin' sure they’re safe, every day's a new start.

[Chorus]
They ask about my secrets, ask about my life,
Why I never settled, never took a wife.
But I'm rich in laughter, wealthy in my pride,
On that big yellow school bus, my dreams still ride.

[Verse 3]
Little Sarah once asked me, "Why ain't you got no wife?"
Told her life ain't always what you pick on the fly.
Sometimes the road less traveled, is the one that you take,
You find a different kind of love, in the journeys you make.

[Bridge]
Through the rain and the snow and the early mornin' sun,
Every ride's an adventure, every journey's begun.
I may have missed the dance, the romance of the years,
But I found my place in life, drivin' through the tears.

[Chorus]
They ask about my secrets, ask about my life,
Why I never settled, never took a wife.
But I'm rich in laughter, wealthy in my pride,
On that big yellow school bus, my dreams still ride.
