[B] Huh?
Listen.
While I was walking with my son, who was just a child, still the taxi driver wouldn't give me a ride.
He was gone, but the traffic lights had to slow down.
So I opened the back door and sat [D#m] my son down.
He tried his best to stop me from coming in.
I said [F#] move yourself, man, and start your driving.
He was very angry, but he asked where to.
I said take me to the [B] station, my train leaving soon.
[F#] So guess what he [G#m] did to me just for spice.
He stopped at every single [B] traffic light.
He took the wrong turn and the long way too.
He stopped at the bar just to use the loop.
[F#] When I got to the [B] station, it was [F#] all in vain.
But golly, good [G#m] gosh, I said I missed my train.
[F#]
Me kick up a taxi, me kick up a taxi, hey driver!
Me kick up a [D#m] taxi, me kick up a taxi, [F#] hey driver!
Me kick up a taxi, me kick up a taxi, hey driver!
Me kick up a taxi, me kick up a taxi, hey driver!
I'm not stopping, they're just not stopping Drive-by, drive-by, drive-by, drive-by, drive-by
I'm not stopping, they're just not stopping
