Lyrics

Have mercy, been waiting for the bus all day
Have mercy, been waiting for the bus all day
I got my brown paper bag
And my take-home pay
Have mercy, that bus be packed up tight
Have mercy, that bus be packed up tight
Well, I'm glad just to get on and home tonight
Right on, that bus done got me back
Right on, that bus done got me back
Well, I'll be ridin' on the bus 'til I Cadillac
Written by: Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill
