Got up and packed in the evening
Shook the sleep from my eyes
There' s always something about leaving this city at night
Waiting around for a second then the second was gone
I would say it's about time I should be getting on
And now I'm riding in the backseat of this old taxi,
Heading through the tunnel down town
Thinking about how crazy this Iife has been lately
And no one's gonna save me now
He said kid where you heading
L said that's a good question he laughed and said you'Il figure it out
But l'm riding in the backseat in this old taxi
Heading through the tunnel down town
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 the
High school dreams of the early fall
Lived out their glorious scenes and died at the shopping mall
And now I'm riding in the backseat of this old taxi,
Heading through the tunnel down town
Thinking about how crazy this life has been lately
And no one's gonna save me now
He said kid where you heading
I said that's a big question he laughed and said you'Il figure it out
But l'm riding in the backseat in this old taxi
Heading through the tunnel down town
Some people can just say what they want
They just know
Others fight to find out and can only say what they don't
Some people waste their days away waiting on a reason to live
And some people get dressed and they go out looking for lt
And now I'm riding in the backseat of this old taxi,
Heading through the tunnel down town
Thinking about how crazy this Iife has been lately
And no one's gonna save me now
He says Kid all I know is you can stay or go
But you better move fast now pal
So I'm riding the backseat of this old taxi
Heading through the tunnel down town
Yeah I'm riding the backseat of this old taxi
Heading through the tunnel down south
