All that folks unfamiliar with the MBTA need to know about it is that a year or two ago a bus driver...a BUS DRIVER...retired in this early 50’s with a pension of $97,000 a year.

Absolutely a great song...but my favorite part was during that short banjo solo where the guy,as he's playing,softly says “kinda hurts my fingers”.
