Lyrics

Well this old bus ain't so pretty
And the name of Jesus is crossed out
By some folks who don't know us or even what we're about.
We've got 500 miles to go till we get to the flood
We've got 5 skids of water to help those people out.

And even though your left with nothing
You don't need a ticket for this ride
Jesus has paid your ransom on this Bus to Paradise, On this Bus to Paradise.

Well this old bus ain't so pretty and the wipers are worn out. And when it starts to raining, you know it really comes down.
But we've got some more cargo, a cargo full of toys, we're going to give to the Orphans a few miles down the road.

And even though your left with nothing
You don't need a ticket for this ride.
Jesus has paid your ransom, on this Bus to Paradise, On this Bus to Paradise, On this Bus to Paradise.

Lyrics were good, with an interesting, but unusual instrumental background. The artist's vocal sound and style are reminiscent of Bob Dylan.

I love the lyrics first off. Second the effect on the guitar really draws you in i love it. I have heard this voice before it is unmistakable who it is... Definitely making his voice heard and the world will know who he is soon enough!

The recording sounds good. We like it.

i like the dylan voice, i know this voice i believe i have reviewed this before. sounds like 70's to me. 'we dont need a ticket for this ride", ha great line!

The tune is nice and the arrangement works well.

Lyrics were good. Instrumentation sounds good.

nice folky country tune. Enjoyed it......

Lyrics are inspirational, the groove is fine

Nice message & nice vibe tom the song. The song has potential.

Enjoyed the lyrics. Good instrumentation/arrangment!

Let me first start out by saying that the message of the song is Great! I am with you brother on getting the word out and you did a fine job in doing so. The vocals remind me a bit of Bob Dylan and fit the song perfectly.

This is a unique story song about people taking a ministry trip to go and help needy people in Jesus' name. Story is great and easy to follow. Lyrics show a lot of originality. This song would be a great inspiration for Christians about to embark on a humanitarian mission. Instrumentation is very well done, and sounds good.

I liked the lyrics they were very touching, very inspirational song. I could see the title being bus to paradise. Glad I am on that Bus!

The Lyrics are really good.

It's like Bob Dylan gone New Wave, with that effect on the guitars.

Really nice song. Truly unique and interesting vocals, appropriate instrumentation choices make this come together for a real, comfortable listen.
