Story Behind the Song
As usual, I was broken down in my VW bus and a certain song came on the radio and it got me thinking what if . . . ? You know the rest.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
If God drove a bus
would he take it to Dead shows
and hang out afterwards
and sell burritos,
and would evreybody buy one?
Yes sir, you bet.
'Cause a burrito made by God,
who wouldn't try that?
And yeah, God's burritos would be kind.
And yeah, God's burritos would be "dank."
And yeah, yeah . . .
Chorus:
What if God drove a microbus?
A trust fund hippie like all of us,
just trying to make his way home,
threw out his hairbrush and his comb.
Verse 2:
If God drove a bus,
would he take it cross-country?
And would he ever get a flat,
or ever break down?
No, God's bus would be "phat,"
with way cool stickers
and a working muffler.
And yeah, God's muffler would be great.
And yeah, God's muffler
would actually muffle sound.
And yeah, yeah . . .
Verse 3:
If God drove a bus,
would he get pulled over,
and have that light shined inhis face,
and be asked to step from the vehicle
with his hands high above his head,
while a German Shepherd
goes clawing at his upholstery
and sniffing in his ashtrays?
And Yes, God's ashtrays are great.
And no, yes, the contents of God's ashtrays
are all perfectly legal.
And no, yes, yeah, no, yeah . . .
Final Chorus:
What if God drove a microbus?
A trust fund hippie like all of us,
just trying to make his way home,
threw out his hairbrush and his comb,
all the money gettin' wired from Dad at home.
