Taxi (LP Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

It was raining hard in 'Frisco [00:00:09]

I needed one more fare to make my night [00:00:13]

A lady up ahead waved to flag me down [00:00:17]

She got in at the light [00:00:21]

Oh where you going to my lady blue [00:00:27]

It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain [00:00:31]

She just looked out the window she said[00:00:37]

"Sixteen Parkside Lane" [00:00:41]

Something about her was familiar[00:00:55]

I could swear I'd seen her face before [00:00:58]

But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"[00:01:02]

And she didn't say anything more [00:01:06]

It took a while but she looked in the mirror [00:01:12]

And she glanced at the license for my name [00:01:16]

A smile seemed to come to her slowly [00:01:21]

It was a sad smile just the same [00:01:24]

And she said "How are you Harry "[00:01:30]

I said "How are you Sue [00:01:35]

Through the too many miles[00:01:39]

And the too little smiles[00:01:40]

I still remember you "[00:01:43]

It was somewhere in a fairy tale [00:02:05]

I used to take her home in my car [00:02:08]

We learned about love in the back of the Dodge [00:02:13]

The lesson hadn't gone too far [00:02:17]

You see she was gonna be an actress [00:02:23]

And I was gonna learn to fly [00:02:27]

She took off to find the footlights [00:02:32]

And I took off to find the sky [00:02:36]

Oh I've got something inside me [00:02:51]

To drive a princess blind [00:02:56]

There's a wild man wizard [00:02:59]

He's hiding in me illuminating my mind [00:03:03]

Oh I've got something inside me [00:03:10]

Not what my life's about [00:03:15]

Cause I've been letting my outside tide me [00:03:18]

Over 'till my time runs out [00:03:24]

Baby's so high that she's skying [00:03:44]

Yes she's flying afraid to fall [00:03:51]

I'll tell you why baby's crying [00:04:00]

Cause she's dying aren't we all [00:04:07]

There was not much more for us to talk about [00:04:21]

Whatever we had once was gone [00:04:26]

So I turned my cab into the driveway [00:04:29]

Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns [00:04:34]

And she said we must get together [00:04:40]

But I knew it'd never be arranged [00:04:44]

And she handed me twenty dollars [00:04:48]

For a two fifty fare she said[00:04:50]

"Harry keep the change "[00:04:53]

Well another man might have been angry [00:04:58]

And another man might have been hurt [00:05:02]

But another man never would have let her go[00:05:06]

I stashed the bill in my shirt [00:05:10]

And she walked away in silence [00:05:16]

It's strange how you never know [00:05:20]

But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for [00:05:24]

Such a long long time ago [00:05:28]

You see she was gonna be an actress[00:05:36]

And I was gonna learn to fly [00:05:41]

She took off to find the footlights [00:05:45]

And I took off for the sky [00:05:48]

And here she's acting happy [00:05:54]

Inside her handsome home [00:05:59]

And me I'm flying in my taxi [00:06:03]

Taking tips and getting stoned [00:06:07]

I go flying so high when I'm stoned[00:06:13]
