Shoeshine - Black Taxi

I left a fine, a fine, young woman back home

Life is a drag, yeah, she’s all alone

It’s gone, it’s gone, the life that I had

But don’t get me wrong, you know it’s not all bad

Because your eyes, your eyes, when I look in your eyes

I don’t think about her at all and that she’s crying

Your hair, your hair, I could swim in your hair

You asked me to leave, and you thought I wouldn’t dare

I used to pay to get my shoes shined

I think I used to have a car

Got a couple of children

I don’t care where they are

I played the CC on Saturday

I shot a 72

I left it all Sunday

It was the day I met you

How long, how long, how long can this last?

By the way you didn’t mention any of your past

I had a job, a job, a high-paying job

Now I’m a son of a b—

Who’s willing to rob.

And steal, and steal, just to survive

That’s how you like it, girl, living barely alive

You’re shady, you’re shady like the tint on the glass

But I couldn’t care less ‘cause this thing is a gas
