Well,
the flag's pushed down
and the meter is a -tickin' away
I got another fare
and I made a lot of trips
today
There's nothing like a drive and a hike
Gotta get them there and
bring them back
I'm a taxi cab driver
an d I make my living this way
Well, the depot's next,
and there's not much time to spare
I'm in a real traffic jam,
and my passengers are pulling his hair
If I get him to the station on time,
I bet he's gonna tip the dime
Six days at the wheel
and a speed zone on my mind
One eye on the road
and the other in the rearview mirror
Not much goes on,
but I don't see or hear
Well, how about the sights I've seen
While that red light's turnin'
green
I'm a taxi cab driver
if you get just what I mean
I know every hotel, motel and cafe
Every after hour spot a
little bit out of the way
Well, the party's gone till dawn
I'll take you, but I'm gone
I'm a taxi cab driver
and I gotta be a -rollin' on
Well, it's early in the mornin'
and everything is a -closin' down
Still got a live one who
wants to do the town
After I get rid of this stray,
am I really gonna hit the hay?
I'm a taxi cab driver
and I make my living this way.
I'm a tired cab driver
and I make my living this way.
I'm a taxi cab driver
and I make my living this way.
