Taxicab Driver

[Verse 1]
Well, the flag's pushed down and the meter is a-ticking away
I got another fare and I made a lotta trips today
There's a-nothin' like a-driving a hack, gotta get 'em there and bring 'em back
I'm a taxicab driver and I make my living this way

[Verse 2]
Well, the depot's next and there's not much time to spare
I'm in a real traffic jam and my passenger's a-pulling his hair
If I get him to the station on time, I bet he's gonna tip a dime
Six days at the wheel with a speed zone on my mind

[Verse 3]
One eye on the road and the other in the rear-view mirror
Not much goes on that I don't see or hear
Well, how about the sights I've seen while that red light's turning green
I'm a taxicab driver, if you get just what I mean

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
I know every hotel, motel, and café
Every after-hours spot a little bit outta the way
Where the parties go on 'til dawn, well, I'll take you, then I'm gone
I'm a taxicab driver and I gotta be a-rolling on

[Verse 5]
Well, it's early in the morning and everything is closing down
Still got a live one who wants to do the town
After I get rid of this stray, I'm really gonna hit the hay
I'm a taxicab driver and I make my living this way
I'm a tired cab driver and I make my living this way
I'm a taxicab driver and I make my living this way
