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
