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
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 Explain Request ×
