Taxi Dancer Lyrics

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 Mellencamp John Cougar - Taxi Dancer - http://motolyrics.com/mellencamp-john-cougar/taxi-dancer-lyrics.html

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
