Lyrics
Seasons come and seasons go but this year they brought some snow
That followed me out to the coast where I'm as cold as ice
It's just another Seattle day driving taxis down Yesler Way
But tonight I'll escape and play till closing time
Back east its a different world where I left a faithful girl
Who says she believes in me but if only she could see
So maybe you can read my mind or hear the words between the lines
When I say I'm doing fine and no place I'd rather be
Cause out here I'm a taxi man driving cars is who I am
I'm a star without a band when the night light turns me on
But not a day goes by for me I don't think of who I used to be
Might have been a celebrity but my life wrote a different song
Been working out here all night got everyone feeling right
So tell me how you are while we're waiting for the light
Monday mornings breaking in reminding me its time again
To put away who I might have been and guitar for another night
It's just another Seattle day driving taxis to earn my pay
But selling my soul away one fare at a time
So maybe you can read my mind or hear the words between the lines
When I say I'm doing fine and no place I'd rather be
Cause out here I'm a taxi man driving cars is who I am
I'm a star without a band when the night light turns me on
But not a day goes by for me I don't think of who I used to be
Might have been a celebrity but my life wrote a different song
Been working out here all night got everyone feeling right
So tell me how you are while we're waiting for the light
