Karaoke Track: Taxi by Harry Chapin (Monster Hits)

It was raining hard

In Frisco

I needed one more fare
To make my night

A lady up ahead waved

To 09 me down
She got in of the light

Oh where you going to
My lady blue

Ifs a shame you ruined
Your gown in the rain

She iusf looked out
The window

She said

Sixteen Pa rkside La ne

Somethin&#39; a bout her

Was fa milior
I could swear
I&#39;d seen her face before

But she said
I&#39;m sure you&#39;re misfu ken

And she did n&#39;i soy
Anything more

H took awhile but
She looked in he mirror

Then she glanced
A1 1he 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

T00 ma ny miles

And the too lime smiles
I still remember you

(Instrumental Break)

It was somewhere

In a fairy tale
I used to take her home
In my car

We learned about love

In the back of the Dodge

The lesson
Hadn&#39;i gone too far

You see
She was gonna

Be an actress
And I was gonna
Learn to Hy

She took off

To find the fooflighfs
I took off to find the sky

(Instrumental Break)

Woh I&#39;ve got

Somethin&#39; inside me
To drive a princess blind

There&#39;s a
Wild man wizard

He&#39;s hidin&#39; in me
Illuminatin&#39; my mind

Oh I&#39;ve got

Somethin&#39; inside me
Not what my life&#39;s about

&#39;Cause I&#39;ve been leHin&#39;

My outside tide me over
&#39;Til my time runs out

(Instrumental Break)

There was not much more

For us to talk aboui

Whatever we had
Once was gone

So I turned my cob
Into the driveway

Past the gate and
The fine-frimmed lawns

And she said
We must geiL together

Buf I knew it&#39;d
Never be arranged

And she hand me
Twenty dollars
For a two-fihy fa re

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

Ifs strange how ya
Never know

But we&#39;d both gofien

What we&#39;d asked for

Such a long, long time ago

You see
She was gonna

Be an actress
And I was gonna
Learn to Hy

She took off

To find the fooflighfs
I took off for the sky

And here
She&#39;s aciin&#39; happy

Inside her
Ha nd some home

And me

I&#39;m flyin&#39; in my taxi

Ta kin&#39; tips and
Geifin&#39; stoned

I go flyin&#39; so high

When I&#39;m stoned
