Taxi (Live 1975 Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
Written by:Jac Holzman[00:00:13]
It was raining hard in 'Frisco[00:00:15]
I needed one more fare to make my night[00:00:24]
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down[00:00:28]
She got in at the light[00:00:32]
Oh where you going to[00:00:37]
My lady blue[00:00:40]
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain[00:00:42]
She just looked out the window[00:00:48]
She said sixteen[00:00:51]
Parkside[00:00:52]
Lane[00:00:53]
Something about her was familiar[00:01:04]
I could swear I'd seen her face before[00:01:08]
But she said[00:01:12]
I'm sure you're mistaken[00:01:13]
And she didn't say anything more[00:01:16]
It took a while but she looked in the mirror[00:01:21]
And she glanced at the license for my name[00:01:25]
A smile seemed to come to her slowly[00:01:30]
It was a sad smile[00:01:33]
Just the same[00:01:35]
And she said[00:01:39]
How are you Harry[00:01:41]
I said how are you Sue[00:01:43]
Through the too many miles[00:01:47]
And the too little smiles[00:01:49]
I still[00:01:51]
Remember you[00:01:54]
It was somewhere[00:02:12]
In a fairy tale[00:02:14]
I used to take her home in my car[00:02:17]
We learned about love in the back of the dodge[00:02:21]
The lesson hadn't gone too far[00:02:24]
You see she was gonna be an actress[00:02:30]
And I was gonna learn to fly[00:02:35]
She took off to find the footlights[00:02:39]
Oh I've got[00:02:58]
Something inside me[00:03:00]
To drive a princess blind[00:03:03]
There's a wild man wizard[00:03:06]
He's hiding in me[00:03:09]
Illuminating my mind[00:03:12]
Oh I've got[00:03:17]
Something inside me[00:03:19]
But it's not what my life's about[00:03:21]
'Cause I've been[00:03:25]
Letting[00:03:27]
My outside tide me[00:03:28]
Over 'till my time[00:03:30]
Runs out[00:03:33]
Runs out[00:03:34]
Baby's so high that she's skying[00:03:51]
She's flying[00:03:58]
Afraid to fall[00:04:01]
I'll tell you why baby's crying[00:04:06]
'Cause she's dying[00:04:13]
Aren't we all[00:04:18]
There was not much[00:04:30]
More for us to talk about[00:04:32]
Whatever we had once was gone[00:04:34]
So I turned my cab into the driveway[00:04:38]
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns[00:04:42]
And she said[00:04:48]
We must get together[00:04:49]
But I knew it'd never be arranged[00:04:52]
And she handed me twenty dollars[00:04:56]
For a two fifty fare[00:04:58]
She said[00:05:00]
Harry[00:05:01]
Keep the change[00:05:02]
Well another man might have been angry[00:05:06]
And another man might have been hurt[00:05:10]
But another man never would have let her go[00:05:14]
I stashed the bill in my shirt[00:05:19]
And she walked[00:05:24]
Away in silence[00:05:25]
It's strange[00:05:28]
How you never know[00:05:30]
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for[00:05:33]
Such a long[00:05:36]
Long time ago[00:05:39]
You see[00:05:44]
She was gonna be[00:05:45]
An actress[00:05:46]
And I was gonna learn to fly[00:05:48]
She took off to find the footlights[00:05:53]
After fall from the sky[00:05:56]
And here[00:06:02]
She's acting happy[00:06:03]
Inside her handsome home[00:06:06]
And me[00:06:10]
I'm flying in my taxi[00:06:11]
Taking tips[00:06:14]
And getting stoned[00:06:16]
I go flying[00:06:20]
So high[00:06:24]
When I'm stoned[00:06:28]
