Love instead of money
Was her motivation
In 1955
Driving a school bus in Alabama
Watching for our children
And praying for civil rights


Thank you, Dorothy Harris
For getting up so early in the morning
And for your Christian heart
That never fails to start
We never would have made it
To where we are right now, I guess
Thank you, Dorothy Harris
Sometimes love
Takes everything you've got


Answers to questions and gentle lessons
Driving us along
I don't know what happened
To all the other ones
But I wrote you this here song


Thank you, Dorothy Harris
For getting up so early in the morning
And for your Christian heart
That never fails to start
We never would have made it
To where we are right now, I guess
Thank you, Dorothy Harris
Sometimes love
Takes everything you've got
Thank you, Dorothy Harris
Sometimes love
Takes everything you've got
