Well, I caught a taxi in the old Smoky Mountains,
C G D G
I had to get to the airport, before ten o'clock
C G D G
Had to check out of my funky motel room
C G D G C
And the nearest bus station was a ten mile walk
C G D G
Well, the taxi cab pulled up and the driver stepped out
C G D G
She wore a pink shirt with black slacks and some cheap perfume
C G D Em
There were holes in her smile and she talked kinda raspy
C G D G
And she was shaped like the sister of "Earthquake McGoon"
C G D G
Well the sunrise was hazy and my suitcase was heavy
C G D G
And she lit up a smoke while my shoulder bags sagged
C G D Em
She said "I'll take you as far as the Hickory Airport
C G D G
But I'm ain?t gettin' paid to carry your bags"
C D G
I took a two hour taxi through North Carolina,
C G D
I heard more bluegrass music, than I wanted to hear
C G D Em
And the big lady driver, she had a tattoo of Jesus
C G D Em
Said "let the lord bless you and keep you my dear"
C G D G
Said "let the lord bless you and keep you my dear"
The cab smelled like menthols and the floorboards were dirty
