Kenny Chesney - If This Bus Could Talk lyrics

He was there when I started, in Knoxville
Tennessee
Opening for Patty Loveless, November of '93
Full of friends, mom, and uncle Butch
And the crowd was really small
He'd say I was a scared kid
If this bus could talk

Some nights we'd dance with the devil
Some nights we'd pray to the Lord
Between vibrant passes and margarita glasses
He was never really bored
We were starry eyed dreamers
Bouncing off the wall
And all the stories he could tell
If this bus could talk

He'd seen pool halls in Texas
And every corndog county fair
Girls that we'd make cry
Some crowds that didn't care
When Bobby rolled us down in 'Bama
He kept rocking through it all
All the stories he could tell
If this bus could talk

Late night conversations
Full of drunk philosophy
On politics and religion, football and family
The lovers that we missed
And the lovers that we lost
All the secrets he could share
If this bus could talk

He'd seen Virginia Beach
Caught in a hurricane
Heroes I wish I never met
But he ain't naming names
We learned the code of the
Road at The Grizzly Rose then we had a ball
All the stories he could tell
If this bus could talk

Many years of summers
And I hope it never ends
Been down so many highways
Full of twists and turns and bends
We caught lightning in a bottle
Somehow we survived it all
All the stories he could tell
If this bus could talk

As I leave the stage
Still high from your applause
He'd tell you that I love you
If this bus could talk
If this bus could talk
If this bus could talk
If this bus could talk
