Taxi

In the style of

Harry Chapin

Lyrics

it was raining hard
in frisco
i needed
one more fare
to make my night

a lady up ahead
waved to
flag me down
she got in
at the light

oh where you going to
my lady blue
it's a shame
you ruined your gown
in the rain

she just looked out
the window
she said
sixteen parkside lane

somethin' about her
was familiar
i could swear
i'd seen her face
before

but she said
i'm sure
you're mistaken
and she didn't say
anything more

it took awhile
but she looked
in the mirror
then she glanced
at the license
for my name

a smile seemed to
come to her slowly
it was a sad smile
just the same

and she said
how are ya harry
i said
how are ya sue

through the
too many miles and
the too little smiles
i still
remember you

it was somewhere
in a fairy tale
i used to take
her home in my car

we learned about love
in the back of a dodge
the lesson
hadn't gone too far

you see
she was gonna be
an actress
and i was gonna
learn to fly

she took off
to find
the footlights
i took off
to find the sky

woh i've got
somethin' inside me
to drive a
princess blind

there's a
wild man wizard
he's hidin' in me
illuminatin' my mind

oh i've got
somethin' inside me
not what
my life's about

'cause i've been
lettin' my outside
tide me over
till my time
runs out

there was
not much more
for us to talk about
whatever we had once
was gone

so i turned my cab
into the driveway
past the gate and
the fine-trimmed lawns

and she said
we must get together
but i knew
it'd never be arranged

and she hand me
twenty dollars
for a two-fifty fare
she said
harry
keep the change

well another man
might have been angry
and another man
might have been hurt

but another man
never would have
let her go
i stashed the bill
in my shirt

and she walked away
in silence
it's strange
how ya never know
but we'd both gotten
what we'd asked for
such a long
long time ago

you see
she was gonna be
an actress
and i was gonna
learn to fly

she took off
to find
the footlights
i took off
for the sky

and here
she's actin' happy
inside her
handsome home

and me
i'm flyin' in my taxi
takin' tips
and gettin' stoned
i go flyin' so high
when i'm stoned
