Got up and packed in the evening
Shook the sleep from my eyes
There's always something about leaving This city at night
Waited around for a second
Then the second was gone
I guess that it's about time
I should be getting on
Now I'm riding in the backseat
In this old taxi
Heading through a tunnel downtown And I'm thinking bout how crazy
This life has been lately
And how no one's gonna save me now He said kid where you heading?
I said that's a good question
He laughed and said you'll figure it out But I'm riding in the backseat
In this old taxi
Heading through a tunnel downtown
At 17 I was ready to go
On a gust of wind
A lonely prisoner of my own soul
And my innocence
And the homecoming queens
With their high school dreams of the early fall Lived out their glorious scenes
Then died at the shopping mall
Me I'm riding in the backseat
In this old taxi
Heading through a tunnel downtown And I'm thinking bout how crazy
This life has been lately
And how no one's gonna save me now He said kid where you headin?
I said that's a big question
He laughed and said you'll figure it out But I'm riding in the backseat
In this old taxi
Heading through a tunnel downtown
Some people can just say what they want
They just know
And others fight to find out
But can only say what they don't
And some people waste the days away
Waiting on a reason to live
And some people get dressed
And they go out looking for it
So I'm riding in the backseat
In this old taxi
Heading through a tunnel downtown
And I'm thinking bout how crazy
This life has been lately
And nothing's gonna save me now
He said kid all I know
Is you can stay or you can go
But you better make your mind up pal
So I'm riding in the backseat
In this old taxi
Heading through a tunnel downtown
