[Verse 1]
Taxied up and down this town since nineteen fifty four
Wore out ten or a dozen cars or more Over thirty years or more
Drove the other side of midnight To the clear edge of dawn
I heard a whole lot of what wasn t right and more of what was wrong.

[Verse 2]
Man gets in my cab one night I m sittin at the stand,
Slumps down in the back seat with his face down in his hands,
A mumbled out of town address is his only remark.
Until we re half way out the high way And he speaks up from the dark
[Verse 3]
And he says I can find no comfort in this night
Friend I believe I might have taken someones life
I remember screamin I re - member the front door slam
Em7 D9/F# Em7(2/4 time)Asus4(4/4 time)
Don t remember how I got these stains upon my hands
Drop him at this dirty shack He s a picture of despair
I can t remember what the meter read or if he even paid the fare
[Verse 4]
All I recall was a sweet release I was halfway back to town
Em7 D9/F# Asus4(2/4/time) G6(4/4 time)
And a police cruiser with the flashing light was flaggin my down
Flaggin my down.
There are times I hear him whisper in the night
Friend I believe I might have taken someones life
I remember screamin I remember the front door slam
(2/4 time) (4/4 time)
Don t remember how I got all these stains upon my hands
[Verse 5]
Taxied up and down this town since nineteen fifty four
Wore out ten or a dozen cars or more Over thirty years or more
Drove the other side of midnight To the clear edge of dawn
Em7 D9/F# A7sus4 2/4 time) G6(4/4 time)
I heard a whole lot of what wasn t right and more of what was wrong.
[Outro]
Even more of what was wrong
