[Verse] Morning sun is breaking, shining through the screen door Backpack full of stories waiting on the floor Mama’s voice is calling, “Don’t forget your smile” You’re running for the yellow, just a little while [Pre-Chorus] That old bus is rolling down the gravel road Waving like a memory, a heart turned gold [Chorus] Goodbye from the front steps, standing in the light A little hand waving as you disappear from sight Sweet little moments in the rush of time Goodbye from the front steps, till the evening chimes [Verse] Dust kicks up behind you, laughter in the air Friendship in your pockets, dreams beyond compare I stand here watching, feeling proud and small Every school bus goodbye means I love you most of all [Pre-Chorus] That old bus is rolling down the gravel road Waving like a memory, a heart turned gold [Chorus] Goodbye from the front steps, standing in the light A little hand waving as you disappear from sight Sweet little moments in the rush of time Goodbye from the front steps, till the evening chimes [Bridge] Years will come and go, but this feeling stays Front porch lights and golden days No matter where the road may wind You’ll always have this place called mine [Chorus] Goodbye from the front steps, standing in the light A little hand waving as you disappear from sight Sweet little moments in the rush of time Goodbye from the front steps, till the evening chimes [Chorus] Goodbye from the front steps, standing in the light A little hand waving as you disappear from sight Sweet little moments in the rush of time Goodbye from the front steps, till the evening chimes [Outro] Til the evening chimes… til the evening chimes…
