Basically, getting out. Maybe the most “in the now” song. By that I mean, the character in the story is ruminating on the reasons for leaving and the actual event itself in the moment it is occurring. Also, interesting to note, this came from an elderly woman at a family reunion (we’d never met): “H...
Big Brown Bus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Caught a big brown bus heading south out of San Antonio
In a grey suitcase, I packed up everything I owned
Sun's coming up while the bus tires sighed and that highway moaned
Fell asleep and I dreamed that I was king of the Texas rodeo
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm getting back to it now
Slowly, I'm gaining ground
[Chorus]
Oh
Oh mercy, mercy send your angels
Oh, damned 'cause I'm leaving it all in a cloud of dust
On a big brown bus
All across Texas
On a big brown bus
[Verse 2]
All the lights over Juarez are hanging orange and low
And I think of buying some dexagen in Mexico
But I'm broke anyways
So I'm just gonna stay and stick out the ride
With a head full of blood, a mouth full of sand
'Cause my throat is too dry
And I might die on this highway
Part of me wishes I would
[Chorus]
Oh
Oh mercy, mercy send your angels
Oh, damned 'cause I'm leaving it all in a cloud of dust
On a big brown bus
All across Texas
On a big brown bus
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm getting back to it now
Slowly, when I'm gaining ground
[Chorus]
Oh
Oh mercy, mercy send your angels
Oh, damned 'cause I'm leaving it all in a cloud of dust
On a big brown bus
All across Texas
On a big brown bus
All across Texas
On a big brown bus
Oh, on a big brown bus

What did Ruston Kelly say about "Big Brown Bus"?
“Big Brown Bus” is the leaving song. It’s meant to be a narrative on the unknown, the need to leave to find the other side of things. Simply put, it’s the embattlement of your strengths and weaknesses, and the feeling, mid-fight, that you’re gonna win. But not without a little help from beyond, of c...
