Childers, Tyler - Bus Route Lyrics

I might actually watch the CMA's if the music/talent were up to this standard. G'WAN WITCHA BAD SELF, TYLER!

Fully convinced Tyler's performances live are always better than the studio album

good country music right thaaare!

Goodo luv song

Wayyyyyyyyy better than the album version. I agree.

Bring me in and give me some, awe sumpin

im twelve years old and my dream is to see tyler live #eatinbigtime ❤️

How this doesn’t have more views is beyond me. Does not get any better than this! Keep it up TTC!

This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
Same grade as me
Tried to kiss her once in the aisle of the bus
And she walked right over me
Face-down in the gum on the floor
I was hopin' that she'd change her mind
But I swear as she walked down the stairs
She didn't even wave goodbye
Didn't even wave goodbye

Ray Dixon didn't take no lip
He'd kick you right off the bus
Stop by your house on the way out of the holler
And tell your momma where you was
He didn't need no driver's aid
To keep a bunch of kids in line
All he needed was a glare in the mirror
And a paddle that he carved from pine
Blisterin' punk kids alive, aw, blisterin'

This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
Same grade as me
I held onto hope for eight long years
And by the time that I turned sixteen
I wasn't awkward, I was a real smooth talker
With my very own pickup truck
I'd take her home and if her parents weren't around
She'd bring me in and give me some
Bring me in and give me some

Safe to say nowadays ol' Ray
Coudln't keep a route very long
And I'm glad the little girl's dad
Never found out what was goin' on
I know he'd've kill me in a minute
And he wouldn't have left no trace
Hogs'll eat about anything you give 'em
And they don't let nothin' go to waste
Don't let nothin' go to waste

This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
Same grade as me

Keep it going Tyler

This blows the album version away! In every way. Makes the studio version feel flat, basic, and lifeless imo

That's mainstream and a record deal reckon

Fiddles. The record has fiddles. I like fiddles. They’re both good in their own way

@Otis Love the fiddles! Each version has its own mood. This one is more rocky I feel

this stuff is what people need to be listing to now a days instead of wannabe rap gods

What popcorn chicken eating motherfucking dribbler dislikes this🤷‍♂️

Great song! The new album is awesome.

Wolf county hilljack chasing a buckeye in the gorge!

Ol Ray Dixon sure didn't take no lip, made me write two pages that said I will not cuss on the bus.

Just my personal opinion but this version is significantly better than the album version.

TYLER CHILDERS SUCKS AND SO DOES LIL WAYNE

Enjoy Tyler while u can..hill be dead soon..

RCA gonna kill him lol

I'm 16 my life story exactly

aint no ida mae

Wish this version was on Country Squire

this version is better

Best version on YouTube or anywhere in my opinion. LOVE james guitar in this

Much better than the studio version. Major labels trying to make him sound like everyone else in Nashville on the Country Squire album 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Dylan Hobson agreed, but studio version is still good. Love this song.

Tyler Childers has the potential to be the Johnny Cash of this generation. Not culturally, but definitely musically.

Tyler makes sad sound so good

I love this song!

Damn boy. You've come a Long way... keep on crankin out solid gold

The bus was a fundamental part of my childhood, dodging spit wads and bouncing the potholes

Sounding a lot like Sturgill Simpson

It’s been an honor to see him three times this year, each crowd being larger than the last. There is nothing better than a Tyler show! 13 sleeps till Galveston... but who’s counting? 💛🙌🏼

Damn Poetry

Yasssss this song is on the new album!

Great music but fuck this dude is coked out in all his songs damn

I cant get enough of that walkin steel guitar holy shit

Is this on any albums?

its going to be on Country Squire

My friend turned me on this guy recently. He is amazing. Im not sure why she hid him from me for so long!

I freaking love this one. Stoked its gonna be on the new album!

Do they have song line up for new album?? I cant wait for it!

This made the new album!

Love this guy on Game of Thrones...had no idea he sings & plays 👍🏻😉👍🏻

On game of thrones?

Please put this on spotify

Dylan's guitars it’s on the new album!

BADASS..........

You sound like Dwight Yoakam....love this

Might fine!

If you ain't got a school bus story or 20 did you even live life when you was young!? This song took me back alot of years. Awesome lol 😂

drew petro I got tons of tour bus stories. I drove coach for 11 years and lived through some amazing stuff.

Tyler Childers is the man he could sign about dog shit and it would be gold.

I tell you what!🤣

That guitar sound is just plain wicked

This is some great / honest song writing. Had to fight & fuss for my girl years ago but it paid off.

This. Is. Fire.

I like blues, but I’m hooked!!!

I like blues, but I’m hooked!!!

Dudes face when hes singing about the driver telling his mom. Genuine emotion right there.

This kid is the only one I"ve ever heard that could do a Johnny Horton cover justice.

Love his music most there with the foodstamps.

Where has Tyler Childers been? Absolutely what I have been looking for.

Having snuck around with a gal whose dad was ornery, I chuckled at the hogs lines! Reminded me of early Springsteen in the delivery a la Open All Night....love it

This is what country music needs to be.

Supertræmmp

Yeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!! Country Rock & Roll is Back !

Blisterin Punk Kids Alive!!! Lovin it

This is good but I prefer it to be just Tyler and an acoustic.

Aweosme song

CMA love fest on tonight, decided to come for some actual country music. Thanks Red

This REAL......keep kicking Ass Tyler......the country greats who have died hopefully will be replaced by you.

Eat your heart out Nashville !rock on Tyler

Tyler and band is all that is right with country music and Nashville for the most part is all that is wrong.

Kentucky has produced some of the best voices ever

Repersentin Eastern Kentucky...Tyler Childers Everyone.

Fuckin just rips out a van Halen solo lol

Insert Johnny Hiland guitar solo

When I need a Tyler Childers quick fix, I listen to this. Face down, gum on the floor. Classic

Who in their right mind could thumbs down Tyler??????? Bus Stop???
Add you crazy or deaf???

Probably some progressive that automatically thinks country = racist. Not trying to be political, but, that’s the only explanation for thumbs downing this. Even if you’re not into country, you gotta respect the aunthenticity of it, unless you’ve just got an agenda. What a long dumb explanation I’ve just typed. I’m gonna quit wasting my time and go listen to more of Tyler’s music.

Godspeed Tyler.

I need this song on vinyl and that shirt in my closet ASAP

Eatin big fuckin time

WOW!!! all I can say

1:24 - it looks like the drummer has a set of antlers.

ryan sullivan we just high

Someone is higher than the grocery bill

Classic !

id love to hear that guitarist on a g/b bender tele

Face down and come on the floor. Haha tricky tyler!!

David Brooks i think it’s “face down in the gum on the floor”

Bad ass!!!

Nikki cook 🌽

this brought back to the 60s maybe the 70s. and I was born in 93.

Yessir!

Go see him live while you can before the big time hits.

I'll never not go see him if he's within driving distance. Dude is great.

I've seen him twice now, I'm going to miss the small shows when he starts to get the recognition he deserves

Saw him in Phoenix, AZ in a very small venue with my buddy. We were outside smoking and him and his buds came up and asked for a lighter. He talked to us for about 10 minutes waiting for his set. Such an awesome guy and funny as hell

@Keegan Cooley Every thing you said and double down on funny as hell.

Eatin big time!

shake the frost or lady may is still my fav//love this tho

Sara Wilburn shake the frost is beautiful

Rocking!!! Who's is on lead guitar? And rest of band??????

mike bentley the band that backs him on the road... The Food Stamps... good stuff

These guys been buddies for years from what I understand.

In love with his music! Love this song! ❤️

SPEECHLESS!!!!!! Been on repeat... can’t stop

Sorry to hear Tyler change his sound. This is not the music that caught my attention and create an affection for mountain music. This song sounds like all the other pop country crap that comes out of Nashville.

Craig Trahan yeah all of his other music is killer but alot of us like to haul ass in our V8 while peeling out and getting sideways and you need some tunes like this to do that

Sounds damn good to me.

I disagree.

Lol this sounds nothing like mainstream country. Not even same ballpark. Sure its definitely different than his other tunes but he did not change his sound by any means

Craig T Seriously?? pop country. Not even close. This is a helluva lot better than FGL or Puke Bryan or Kane Brown.

Ole Ray was my uncle. Great man.

My man can pick it

Yeah I need all these random Childers songs on Spotify asap. I'll pay extra.

Jonathan Rodgers the beauty of him not being a huge sellout. Some songs won't be available on sites like that.

Bus route, Oneida , shake the frost , rock salt and nails, 22nd winter need to be on a future album

@tyler raffle Yeah man. He's got like 100 and they stay in rotation round here.

Shake the Frost & Rock Salt & Nails is already on an album called: Live on Red Barn Radio 1&2

But have you guys heard Rocks and Relics??!

2:04 - Holy Shit JB. And the ending - crazy. 👍

Jessie Seay..hope u get to see him soon it is worth every penny..let me know when I will see u there..in fayetteville this weekend ( sold out show) acoustic yesterday..with band today..rain or not worth it..good man tyler childers..loves what he does !

Cecil O'Dell Nov 14 at the Pageant in good ol St Louie!!!!

Aaaaaaawwwwweeeeee yea 1:00

Req_NadeFrame awwwwww blisterin****
