Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Junior year
Bleachers, late
You were seventeen
I was always late too
One slow dance
Turned into weeks
Turned into tears
Staring at that test in your room
Your daddy pacing
My hands shaking
Front porch, long talk
Ring from a pawn shop box
Church crowd whispering
Rice in the parking lot dust
We said "I do"
Climbed in my beat-up truck
[Chorus]
Big life, yellow bus
We were just kids but it all found us
Little boy crying while the ink still wet
On the cap and gown I never did get
Seventeen, holding on
Name on a deed instead of on the prom
Didn't plan it, but look at us
Building this big life
Off the back of an old yellow bus
[Verse 2]
Gravel drive
Tiny place
Hand-me-down crib
And a crib-sized face
Night shifts
Cheap fries
Counting tips
Chasing sunrise
Year and a half
Another pink line
You laughed, then cried
Said, "How we gonna make this right?"
Saw that school bus
For sale by the fence
Said, "Home's a feeling
Not an address"
[Chorus]
Big life, yellow bus
We were just kids but it all found us
Little boy sleeping on the bench seat bed
Little girl kicking while you rest your head
Seventeen turned twenty-one
Lines on my face but we still run
Didn't plan it, but look at us
Painting our dreams
On the side of that yellow bus
[Bridge]
Pulled out the seats
Built us a table
Hung up your photos
Fixed what I was able
Wheels rolling slow
Down county line dust
Kids in pajamas
Counting stars they trust
You said, "One day
They'll ask us how
Two scared kids
Made it here somehow"
I kissed your hand
Said, "Tell 'em this much
Love ain't easy
But it sure shows up"
[Chorus]
Big life, yellow bus
We were just kids but it all found us
Little hands coloring on chipped-up paint
Bills stacked high but our faith don't break
Seventeen feels far and gone
But every mile, our roots grow strong
Didn't plan it, but look at us
Whole world riding
In that old yellow bus
[Outro]
Front porch parking lot
Sun going down
You in my hoodie
Kids running around
Ask me, "Would you change
The way it was?"
I'd say, "Same girl, same kids
Same yellow bus"
