So this is a love song about an awesome date my partner and I went on last week. We took the bus along Jefferson Avenue (Which runs along the lake and the river that makes the East boarder of the city/country) and stopped at our favorite breakfast spot, then went to the DIA (Detroit Institute of Art) and from the bus stop to the museum is like a 2.5 mile walk, so we just hoofed it down the street and took in all the sights that we used to be around all the time when we were in college downtown at Wayne State. She's the best. It was a beautiful day of presence and love and art and clean, cold air, and Detroit nonsense.

Detroit is not the best town for public transportation, we're pretty car brained out here. That said, taking the bus to get downtown from the eastside where we live is a really nice treat if you got a whole day to screw around with the public transit system here.

Let’s Take The Bus

Gsus - A - B - A (Riff) Let’s go downtown. Let’s go get breakfast at Norm’s in West Village Then head to the DIA And let’s take the bus.

Let’s bundle up Seventeen layers because we’ll be walking On inches of ice and snow So let’s take it slow

C Bm G Am G Em :|| D/F# A Good Idea is a Good Idea You say with a snowflake decorating your eye And across the aisle, we hold hands and smile As the day is unfolding like a gray winter sky C/G D/F# G(riff) And it’s you and I on the bus.

Everything’s Gray There’s so much color in you and your questions I love the way You take in the world

Sitting too long It’s only 2 miles why wait for the Q Line When there’s nothing better than walking With you in the snow?

C Bm G Am G Em :|| D/F# A Good Idea is a Good Idea You say with a snowflake decorating your eye And across the aisle, we hold hands and smile As the day is unfolding like a gray winter sky C/G D/F# G(riff) And it’s you and I on the bus.

Dbmaj7/Ab Eb9/Bb Em7 Cmaj13 Am7 Dsus13 Dbmaj7/Ab Eb9/Bb Em7 Cmaj7 Look at your breath, it’s been here before On Woodward avenue in theatres and stores Isn’t it grand to love someone you know, Who’s seen you grow up from lifetimes ago? We get to share all these things that we’ve seen, From new perspectives as they’re all changing. And you’re not the same, and neither am I And everything stops for the snow in your eye

Gsus riff Everywhere’s Art We see some together we see some apart and It’s all kinda beautiful to share

In Kresge Court With a white wine and a good book and the comfiest chair I find you exactly as you’re supposed to be Let’s sit and be slow But the museum’s closing so we better go

A good idea is a good idea.

A Good idea is a good idea you say with a snowflake decorating your eye. Heading home, to be potatoes As the day we had follows wherever we go And it’s you and I On the couch.
