Taxi (Nightdriver) Lyrics by G Tom Mac

Blue Rue

0

Working that midnight run
Here in the neon gun
Shadows and clockwork faces
Driving the meter wheel machine
Collect that union wage
Brother, you pace your time
Go on and step outside
Don't let that big deal crumble
It could be fire, it could be rain
But if it smokes, you'll pay
And I'm just another taxi on the backstreets
Where the lightning and the thunder is real
Take a backseat, roll the taxi
'Til the lonely night is over, 'til I'm beat
Look in my rearview mirror
I've seen that face for years
Some kind of midtown hustler
Steaming his way through every debt
Down to his last cigarette
I'd sooner be dead than crawl
I'm ready to climb that wall
I'm ready to take my chances
Don't waste your breath, don't waste my time
Tonight I cross that line
And you get into my taxi, take the backstreets
Where the lightning and the thunder is real
Take a back seat, roll the taxi
'Til the lonely night is over, 'til I'm beat
Night driver, oh
Night driver, oh
I'll pull the rope before the lawman takes me alive, yeah
Like every hungry man, I'll justify my crime
My days ain't numbered yet
I ain't about to quit
I'll push my luck, I'll gamble
Meet with a man across the bridge
And make that promised ride
And it's just another taxi through the backstreets
Where the lightning and the thunder is real
Take a back seat, roll the taxi
'Til the lonely night is over, 'til I'm beat
I'm just a taxi on the backstreets
Where the lightning and the thunder is real
Take a back seat, roll the taxi
'Til the lonely night is over, 'til I'm beat
Night driver, oh
Night driver, oh
Ah, this taxi man's on the street
Night driver, oh
Those neon guns are real
Night driver, oh
This night driver don't sleep
Night driver
