Listen to the song; #10 on Collaborations

It was raining hard up in Frisco, I needed one more fare to make my night

A lady up ahead waved to flag me down; she got in at the lights
Aw where you going to my lady blue, it’s a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
She just looked out the window; she said sixteen Parkside Lane

Something about her was familiar; I could swear I’d seen her face before
But she said I’m sure you’re mistaken, and she didn’t say anything more
It took a while but she looked in the mirror then she glanced at the license for my name 
A smile seemed to come to her slowly, it was a sad smile just the same
 
And she said how are ya Harry, I said How are you Sue
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles I still--- remember you

It was somewhere in a fairy tale, I used to take her home in my car
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge, the lesson hadn’t gone too far
You see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky

Oh I’ve got something inside me, to drive a princess blind
There's a wild man wizard he’s hiding in me; illuminating my mind
Oh I’ve got something inside me, not what my life's about
Cause I’ve been letting my outside tide me over till my time runs out

There was not much more for us to talk about, whatever we once had was gone 
So I turned my cab into the driveway, past the gates and the fine trimmed lawns
And she said we must get together, but I knew it'd never be arranged
Then she hands me twenty dollars for a two fifty fare she said Harry, Keep the change

Well another man might have been angry, and another man might have been hurt
But another man never would have let her go, I stashed the bill in my shirt

And she walked away in silence;, it’s strange how you never know
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for, such a long, long time ago
You see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights, I took off for the sky

And here's she's acting happy, inside her handsome home
And me I’m flying in my taxi, taking tips and getting stoned
I go fly---ing so high; when I’m stoned
