Lyrics

You've been around the neighborhood
More than a couple of times, now
You dug into the piggy bank
For all the nickels and dimes, now
You drive up the road a ways
Thinking it'll just be a couple of days

Then you look at the calendar
And all those days are gone, boy
This road went no where fast
And it's still the one you're on, boy
You've been driving too long a while
But you've still got your winning smile

You learn but you don't get smarter
You get strong but it still gets harder
You push that rock up a little bit farther
And it rolls back down again

Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Until the day he died

What does it take to win your love for me?
What does it take to win your love
To win your love
To win your love
To win your love

And so you sing that same sad song
Down to your last breath, man
And you stumble 'round from bar to bar
Until you're clubbed to death, man
And that's the song they'll play
When they carry you away

You learn but you don't get smarter
You get strong but it still gets harder
You push that rock up a little bit farther
And it rolls back down again

Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Jr. Walker drove the bus
Until the day he died
