Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver

The rain was falling in the city
The girl waved her hand in the air
The cab picked her up at the corner
She was a pretty girl with long black hair

He said where you going missy
She mumbled the place and they were off
He glanced at her in the mirror
Her eyes showed that she was lost

He said so what's your story
Why do you look so down
She didn't say anything
She just stared at the ground

He said I'm sorry you're so sad
I know what it's like when you part
But if you want to talk, feel free to
It's the best thing to do with the heart

Suddenly she softened
How'd you know it was a man
He said I've felt the same way before
And I did the same thing and ran

He asked her if she'd been left
And she answered him no
I just couldn't do it, I knew he'd see through it
I just didn't love him no more

And he asked did the passion die
It was never there from the start
I'm in love with another man
He's forever been in my heart

So you had another lover
She said it was long ago
We dated in high school
I miss him so much you know

He asked her what happened to him
And he asked his name
She said we dated in high school
And he was called Ryan James

So why on earth did you leave him
If you loved him so
She said he was going nowhere
And I really just had to go

And he said missy don't worry
He's probably doing nothing right now
For you're such a beautiful woman
Don't waste your love on him now

And she said with a little anger
How could you know how I feel
He said cause my story was the same
I would never have provided a meal

But she said that love will win out
And she said that love conquers all
He said that love may always last
But it's really not worth the fall

And he said no matter how much you love
Sometimes it's not worth the dream
It's good that you left when you did
Cause you deserve better than him

And they arrived where they were going
And she said I want to see him
I want to say how I feel
See if true love will win

And the driver smiled at her
He said I know how it goes
But don't you worry your pretty head
Cause I'm really sure that he knows

And she smiled at him kindly
And she said thank you
She quietly got out of the cab
And in silence he said thank you too

And he watched her walk away
And he glanced at the license for his name
A smile crept on his face slowly
His card read, Ryan James
