Lyrics

[Verse]
In a small town off the highway, lives a man with a tale,
He's got a big ol' beard, as thick as a veil,
He rides the yellow bus from dawn till school's end,
But at night he's at home with Mom and Dad again.

[Verse 2]
His beard tells a story, every inch, every hair,
Of dreams that got tangled, caught somewhere in the air,
He watches the kids with a firm, watchful eye,
Then heads home to his parents when the twilight fades to sky.

[Chorus]
Oh, he’s the bearded bus monitor, guiding kids along,
In his small town kingdom, where he feels he belongs,
With a heart full of stories, and a beard full of time,
He's the gentle giant, with no mountain to climb.

[Verse 3]
He's got tales of the past, of roads never taken,
A heart that’s still young, yet a bit forsaken,
At home there's comfort, in familiar old faces,
A man of routine, with no big embraces.

[Verse 4]
Every morning at dawn, he steps out the door,
The bus knows his weight, knows his footsteps for sure,
He’s a watcher, a guide, for the youth roaming wild,
Yet at 45, he’s still his parents’ child.

[Chorus]
Oh, he’s the bearded bus monitor, guiding kids along,
In his small town kingdom, where he feels he belongs,
With a heart full of stories, and a beard full of time,
He's the gentle giant, with no mountain to climb.
