about

Dedicated to the real Dan Snyder, a bus driver with the blues. Thank you Dan, you're a good man.

lyrics

Dan, Dan, Danny Snyder
Danny's got
The bus driver blues
He works all day
7-9
And the like the rest
He's just getting bye
Could you tell me Mr. Snyder?
Could you lend me a cigarette lighter?
He says people ain't as nice
As you and I
People ain't as sweet
As you and me

Because the pimps they talk
About their girls
And from what he says
They ain't no pearls
And the prisoners speak
Of things
So vile and fowl
x2

But Dan, Dan, Danny Snyder
Working bare bones
For a days worth of food
He sleeps in a bunk house
With only one room
His kids sit at the table
With look of despair
They look over at daddy
It's a vacant chair...
