Taxi - Harry Chapin (1972)

I used to drive a taxi so I knew what HC meant when he said he needed one more fare to make his night. I could see the drama involved when he picked up his ex-lover, the humiliation of serving someone who was your equal and can now throw you a tip. Humility may be good for the soul but it does nothing for your ego. Take the ride and listen. Harry died in a car crash in 1981.
