Black man taxi driver, takes me where I wanna goDark side of Atlanta, it's the only place I knowI wanna ask him where he comes from, I'm afraid my fear will showI just ask him if it always this hardHe mumbles back an answer that I wasn't meant to hearAnd pulls the meter forward as if to make it clearThat there's no communication, we're both from different worldsAnd all he has to do for me is driveAnd I think of you so far away and aloneI wonder if the distance can make us strongerAm I losing touch with time'Cause still you fill my mindI don't know if I can hold on much longer, yeahDriver turns the corner and sings an old blues tuneHis voice so rough it mirrors all the pain that he's been throughAnd I join him at the chorus in a voice that lets him know I understandWon't you please understandAnd I think of you the last time we made loveThe newborn break of day barely breathingAnd as the stars cleared from the skiesWe laughed until we criedBut inside I knew I was leaving, whoaRolled down the window and my head begins to spinNight time fever conquers all as the city rushes inEyes in the rear view mirror, they stare right through my skinThey ask me where I come from, I say the same place as himHe nods not quite believing which is rightHe smiles and tell me, there'll be no charge tonightAnd I think of you so far away and aloneI wonder if the distance can make us stronger, ohAm I losing touch with time'Cause still you fill my mindAs my mind goes on, as my mind goes onAs my mind goes on to wonder
