  Text skladby: Harry Chapin-Taxi
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 lights
"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 Park side Lane"
Something about her was familiar
I could swear I'd seen her face before But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken" Then she didn't say anything more
It took a while 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 you, Harry?" I said, "How are you, 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
Oh, I've got something inside me To drive a princess blind There's a wild man, wizard He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind
Oh, I've got something inside me But it's not what my life's about 'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me Over till my time runs out
Baby's so high that she's skying Yes she's flying, afraid to fall I'll tell you why baby's crying She's dying, aren't we all?
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 gates and the fine trimmed lawns
And she said, "We must get together" But I knew it'd never be arranged Then she handed 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
And she walked away in silence It's strange how you 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 And I took off for the sky
Here, she's acting happy And here, she's acting happy Inside her handsome home And me, I'm flying in my taxi Taking tips, getting stoned
