Taxi

One, two, one, two, three, four

I got up and packed in the evening

Shook the sleep from my eyes

There's always something 'bout leavin' this city at night

Waited 'round for a second

Then the second was gone

I guess it's about time I should be gettin' on

And now I'm ridin' in the back seat in this old taxi

Headin' through the tunnel downtown

Thinkin' 'bout how crazy this life has been lately

And no one's gonna save me now

He said kid where you headin'?

I said that's a good question

He laughed and said you'll figure it out

But I'm ridin' in the backseat in this old taxi

Headin' through the tunnel downtown

At seventeen I was ready to go on a gust wind

A lonely prisoner I'm told

In my innocence

And the homecoming queens

With the high school dreams of the early fall

They got the glory scenes that died at the shopping mall

And I went ridin' in the backseat in this old taxi

Headin' through the tunnel downtown

Thinkin' 'bout how crazy this life has been lately

And no one's gonna save me now

He said kid where you headin'?

I said that's a big question

He laughed and said you'll figure it out

But I'm ridin' in the backseat in this old taxi

Headin' through the tunnel downtown

Now some people can just say what they want

They just know

And others fight to find out

They can only say what they don't

And some people waste days away

Waitin' on a reason to live

And some people get dressed and they go out lookin' for it

And so I'm ridin' in the backseat in this old taxi

Headin' through the tunnel downtown

Thinkin' 'bout how crazy this life has been lately

And no one's gonna save me now

He says kid all I know is you can stay or you can go

But you better move fast now pal

So I'm ridin' in the backseat in this old taxi

Headin' through the tunnel downtown

Yeah, I'm ridin' in a the backseat in this old taxi

Headin' through the tunnel downtown
