[00:00:00] Taxi (In the Style of Harry Chapin) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke

[00:00:16] It was raining hard in 'Frisco

[00:00:20] I needed one more fare to make my night

[00:00:24] A lady up ahead waved to flag me down

[00:00:29] She got in at the light

[00:00:35] Oh where you going to my lady blue

[00:00:39] It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain

[00:00:45] She just looked out the window

[00:00:49] "Sixteen Parkside Lane"

[00:01:03] Something about her was familiar

[00:01:06] I could swear I'd seen her face before

[00:01:10] But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"

[00:01:14] And she didn't say anything more

[00:01:21] It took a while but she looked in the mirror

[00:01:25] And she glanced at the license for my name

[00:01:29] A smile seemed to come to her slowly

[00:01:33] It was a sad smile just the same

[00:01:39] And she said "How are you Harry "

[00:01:43] I said "How are you Sue

[00:01:47] Through the too many miles

[00:01:49] And the too little smiles

[00:01:52] I still remember you "

[00:02:14] It was somewhere in a fairy tale

[00:02:18] I used to take her home in my car

[00:02:22] We learned about love in the back of the Dodge

[00:02:26] The lesson hadn't gone too far

[00:02:32] You see she was gonna be an actress

[00:02:36] And I was gonna learn to fly

[00:02:41] She took off to find the footlights

[00:02:45] And I took off to find the sky

[00:03:01] Oh I've got something inside me

[00:03:06] To drive a princess blind

[00:03:09] There's a wild man wizard

[00:03:12] He's hiding in me illuminating my mind

[00:03:20] Oh I've got something inside me

[00:03:25] Not what my life's about

[00:03:28] Cause I've been letting my outside tide me

[00:03:34] Over 'till my time runs out

[00:03:55] Baby's so high that she's skying

[00:04:02] Yes she's flying afraid to fall

[00:04:11] I'll tell you why baby's crying

[00:04:18] Cause she's dying aren't we all

[00:04:32] There was not much more for us to talk about

[00:04:37] Whatever we had once was gone

[00:04:41] So I turned my cab into the driveway

[00:04:45] Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns

[00:04:51] And she said we must get together

[00:04:55] But I knew it'd never be arranged

[00:04:59] And she handed me twenty dollars

[00:05:01] For a two fifty fare she said

[00:05:04] "Harry keep the change "

[00:05:09] Well another man might have been angry

[00:05:13] And another man might have been hurt

[00:05:17] But another man never would have let her go

[00:05:22] I stashed the bill in my shirt

[00:05:28] And she walked away in silence

[00:05:32] It's strange how you never know

[00:05:36] But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for

[00:05:40] Such a long long time ago

[00:05:48] You see she was gonna be an actress

[00:05:52] And I was gonna learn to fly

[00:05:57] She took off to find the footlights

[00:06:01] And I took off for the sky

[00:06:07] And here she's acting happy

[00:06:11] Inside her handsome home

[00:06:15] And me I'm flying in my taxi

[00:06:19] Taking tips and getting stoned

[00:06:25] I go flying so high when I'm stoned
