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
