lyrics

All around town all the roads stay crazy busy
People stuck in traffic gettin' all in a tizzy
One man's on a mission from his holy teacher
That's Pastor Beecher The Bus Drivin' Preacher

He's talkin' 'bout love when the bus stops at a red light
Spreadin' the word to convince folks not to fight
Offerin' himself as a free ride spiritual leader
Yep, good old Pastor Beecher The Bus Drivin' Preacher

Every ride he gets inside and he splashes that holy water
And every day he'll always say all the prayers he oughtta'
Some riders get pissed that he takes a long long time
But when you ride with Pastor Beecher you're ridin' on God's time

There's a horn a-honkin' behind Pastor Beecher's bus
And a bunch of school kids makin' an awful fuss
So Pastor Beecher gets out his crucifix
And exorcises the demons outta' each and every onna' them kids

Every ride get inside splashes holy water
And every day he'll always say all the prayers he oughtta'
Some riders get pissed that he takes a long long time
But when you ride with Pastor Beecher you're ridin' on God's time

Yeah a lotta' riders really wanna' a driver who's a real bad speeder
But not with Pastor Beecher The Bus Drivin' Preacher
