Taxicab Driver

Well, the flag's pushed down and the meter is a-tickin' away
I got another fare and I made a lotta trips today
There's a-nothin' like a-drivin' a hack
Gotta get 'em there and bring 'em back
I'm a taxicab driver and I make my livin' this way

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-pullin' his hair
If I get him to the station on time
I bet he's gonna tip a dime
Six days at the wheel and a speed zone on my mind

One eye on the road and thе other in the rear-viеw 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 turnin' green
I'm a taxicab driver, if you get just what I mean

I know every hotel, motel, and café
Every after-hours spot a little bit outta the way
Where the parties go on till dawn
I'll take you, then I'm gone
I'm a taxicab driver and I gotta be a-rollin' on

Well, it's early in the mornin' and everything is closin' down
Still got a live one who wants to do the town
After I get rid of this stray
I'm-a really gonna hit the hay
I'm a taxicab driver and I make my livin' this way
I'm a tired cab driver and I make my livin' this way
I'm a taxicab driver and I make my livin' this way
