Taxi Dancer

Well she started out to be a dancer
 She's gonna make her livin' dancin' in the Broadway shows
 So she hitchiked cross country from Pasaroba to the Big 
Red Apple
 Where your dreams are made, and your debts are paid on 
time

 Chorus:
 I'll hold you close Taxi Dancer
 And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams and how 
they faded away
 I'll hold you close Taxi Dancer
 And we'll pretend this floor is the Broadway stage

 Well, she wasn't used to livin' in the city
 So she took a job as a maid cleanin' up at the Gramercy 
Park Hotel
 And all her auditions they didn't turn out so pretty
 So she took a job dancin' at the bar down the street as 
well

 Chorus

 Well I don't know how long or how far her fortune did take
 her
 But I heard she sits alone drunk in a bar down on 42nd 
Street
 And sometimes an old butch will slip a quarter into the 
jukebox
 And she'll stagger to the bar and dance with that girl for
 free

 Chorus
