Taxi-cab Driver

Cab driver, won’t you take my girl for a ride?
She’s a survivor, still got so much love locked up inside
She loves to lose the foolish games with heart-breaker rules
She’a a martyr of the senior class
She’s gonna stick it through
Like Albert Einstein or some kid you don’t know, she used to laugh at your jeans
You were the chess game I thought better unwon
You the win the war inside of me
Needed to explain so I turned as I come
Visit your job on thirteenth street
And soon I’ll be walking outside
Feeling yourself come alive!
A thumb stuck up off the side of the interstate
Hitchhiker, you better jump in the car
Don’t be such a stranger now
We know we could go real far
Like Albert Einstein or some kid you don’t know, she used to laugh at your jeans
You were the chess game I thought better unwon
You the win the war inside of me
I could not explain why I turned out so cold turned myself in on thirteenth
street
Soon we’ll be rising, sinking, feeling like we’re falling out of love again
No more kissing you on the sly
Watching those cars pass us on the right
She don’t care where each one goes, cause she’s got symphonies to compose
Maybe I was just a melody
Who knows? You were the chess game I thought better unwon
You the win the war inside of me
