Karaoke Track: Taxi by Harry Chapin (Sweet Georgia Brown) - Karaoke Nerds

It was rainin' hard in Frisco

I needed one more fare to

make my night

She got in at the light

0h, where ya goin' to,

my lady blue

Somethin' about
her was familiar

I could swear I've seen her
face before

But she said I'm sure

you're mistaken

'It took a while,
but she looked in the mirror

Then she glanced at the
license for my name

It was a sad smile
just the same

And she said
How are ya Harry?

And the too little smiles
I still, remember you

It was somewhere

in a fairy tale

We 1earned about love
in the back of a Dodge

The lesson hadn't
drowned too far

And I was gonna learn to fly

She took off to find the
footlights

I took off to find the sky

Whoa, I've got somethin'
inside me to drive
a princess blind

illuminating my mind

Not what my life's about

Oh I've got
somethin' inside me

Not what my life's about

Cause I've been livin'
my outside timely

Over till my time runs out

Over till my time runs out

There was not much more
for us to talk about

Whatever we had once
was gone

So I turned my cab

into the driveway

And she said we must
get together

But I knew it'd never

be arranged

Well another man might

have been angry

But another man never
would've let her go

I stashed the bill in my shirt

It's strange how you never
know

but we'd both gotten
what we asked for
Such a long, long time ago

And I was gonna learn to fly

She took off to find
the footlights

I took off to find the sky

And me I'm flyin' in my taxi

And here she is actin' happy
Inside her handsome home

And me I'm flyin' in my taxi

Takin' tips and gettin'
stoned

I go flyin' so high,
when I'm stoned-
