Mommy Daddy You and I

All the way home from Baltimore

We couldn't find a seat

Conductor says he's sorry for

The blisters on our feet

Come a-ridin' in a bus, the high and the low

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Goin' on a trip and we're not goin' home

Mommy, daddy, you and I, I

Drivin', keep drivin'

Drivin', drivin' all night

Sleepin' on my daddy's shoulder

Drinking from a paper cup

And I'm wearin' my grandfather's clothes

And they say that up North, it gets cold

Crawlin' out of bed one night, walkin' in my sleep

We're not the only family to take this little trip

Drivin' all the way up, it's 30 below

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Even little kids gettin' ready to go

Mommy, daddy, you and I, I

Chilly, chilly-willy, it's colder the further we go

But some are born to take advantage

But sayin', it don't make it so

So hold me and don't let me go

'Cause the sidewalks are covered with snow

He's speakin' English now

And he's smoothin' out his clothes

He's Mr. Button Down, he's leavin' home

Makin' changes day by day

We still ain't got no plan

How we gonna make our way

In this foreign land?

Well, we'll keep drivin', keep drivin'

Drivin' with all of our might

Changin', still changin'

Changin' the water of life

Keep that little man a-shining

See how the tail can wag the dog

And we're all ridin' in this old bus

And the driver is singin' to us

And we're wearin' out grandfather's clothes

'Cause we heard that up North, it gets cold
