Cab Driver Lyrics


Standing in the rain
Cab comes into view
Ask me where am I goin' to
Running for so long
Been gone too many nights
And my heart has paid the price
This ain't Heaven
And this ain't the life I bargained for, oh no
My reason for living
Isn't here inside this car
You know, I gotta get back to you
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away

From my baby, oh yeah
I need familiar streets
To show me that you're near
Feeling like a stranger here
Oh, does the mirror show the miles on my face?
Am I goin' any place?
'Cause this ain't Heaven
This ain't the life I was hopin' for, oh no, oh no
My reason for living
Sure ain't here inside this car
You know I gotta get back to you
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
From you, baby
Oh, cab driver
Take me home
Too much time
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
From my baby, oh yeah
I need to see the look on your face
A kiss from your lips, oh, the taste, baby
Nothing waiting for me but a lonely room
Girl, I gotta get back to you, baby, soon
Oh, cab driver take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
From you, baby
Oh, cab driver
Take me home
I spent too much time
And I gotta get back to you, baby
See, it's a lonely world without you, babe
Without you, baby
Without you, babe
I can't go on
Oh, woah, oh woah
Don't wanna go back to the empty room
I gotta get back to my baby, soon
Please, take me home
Take me home
Gotta get back to my baby
Hey, hey
[Incomprehensible]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
His mother played songs by Frank Sinatra to him as a child, and he later became a fan of Motown and other R&B/soul music. He took piano lessons as a child, but he did not like them. He would skip the lessons and ride his bicycle across the bridge from his grandfather's farm over to the heart of the black "Chicken Hill" ghetto, where he could just listen and absorb the music.

In the 1960s, Hall attended Temple University, but did not graduate, preferring instead to spend his time singing on the street corners and play with various musicians and groups. At that time, Daryl Hohl (as he was called then) sang backup for different bands. He eventually changed his last name to Hall. Daryl Hall idolized the Temptations and began to perform session work as a singer. He first met John Oates at a band competition.

After John transferred to a different school, Daryl joined the band Gulliver, which released one eponymous album in 1969 before being dropped from their label.

Daryl is the host of the wildly popular online show entitled "Live From Daryl's House", where Daryl and the band collaborate with artists from various musical genres on the 15th of each month. The first episode aired in 2007, and it's still going strong. Best of all, it's free to watch.
