I never felt a rain like this
And I worked the fields my whole life
I always knew at the end of the day
I’d get back home to my wife
But something’s different about this time
And I’m at the end of my rope
Thought he’d help me see the light
But I might be starting to lose all hope
Hundreds of us huddled up
Like cattle on the way to the floor
I’m hearin whispers and rumors flyin
Some can’t take it anymore
But I know at the end of the day
We’ll all welcome him with open arms
Cause he said he’s gonna drain that swamp
It’s alright that he brings us harm
Hey bus driver pick me up
I been trapped out here all night
I came here to show support
But there ain’t no help in sight
Lately I been thinkin
Did I make a wrong turn somewhere
Throwin all my weight behind
A man who doesn’t care?
Jerry’s kids don’t talk to him
They said they’re leaving him behind
Gladys said her nephew said
She’s out of her goddamn mind
But my family’s stuck by my side
Cause nothin’s thicker than blood
But I wish we were stuck together
In this freezing rain and mud
I may never make it home
But that’s alright with me
Cause I ain’t never worn a mask
I don’t call that being free
He’s up there a mile high
Already halfway cross the sky
We may never see him again
But at least he came and said “hi”
Hey bus driver pick me up
I been trapped out here all night
I came here to show support
But there ain’t no help in sight
Lately I been thinkin
Did I make a wrong turn somewhere
Throwin all my weight behind
A man who doesn’t care?
I’ve always been a prayin man
Never missed out on sayin grace
And when I die I’ll go up to the lord
That’s my rightful place
But lately I got another man
To whom I wish and to whom I pray
He promised us a better world
And he came to town today
Hey bus driver pick me up
I been trapped out here all night
But I don’t blame the president
You know it serves me right
Lately I been thinkin
That I ain’t go no regrets
Cause I threw my weight behind
The man who knows best
Tell my kids I love em
Tell em not to shed no tears
Cause I died for my country
In a chorus of campaign cheers
If I make it home alive
He’s still gonna get my vote
It’s not his fault that I coulda died
I shoulda worn a bigger coat...
