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
