Billy Lee Ackerley, The Bus

Billy Lee Ackerley wrote The Bus in 1979,  when he was riding a bus back to Wyoming from Boise, Idaho, where he had to leave his girl friend behind. Later he revised the lyrics to make a better song that people could understand and relate to. He learned that a good song is usually based on experience with a little fiction added to improve the story.
 In 1986, Billy recorded the song on his Space Age Cowboy album that he recorded in Nashville with "Whisperin' Bill" Anderson's band which was named The Po Folks Band.
 The Bus was written, recorded, published, and copyrighted by Billy Lee Ackerley.
