The Men That Drive Me Places Lyrics - Ben Rector

Howard drives a minivan with the cruise ships from Ft. Lauderdale 

And it's been that way since 1994 

Does his business on a flip phone with the most obnoxious ringtone 

I didn't ask but I can tell he's from New York 

And he spoke proudly of his daughter and that this fall she'd be in college 

And that he always wished he'd gotten his degree 

You can tell he came from nothing, built a future out of hustling 

And somehow I'm the one you people pay to see 

Oh isn't that just the way it goes 

You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated 

Oh how am I the only one who knows 

I'm half the man of the men that drive me places

Danny showed up early fifteen minutes till five thirty 

Making sure that I'd be on my morning flight 

He said he'd love to fix computers, but that he can't until he's fluent 

So he spends his driving money taking class at night 

He wore a neatly ironed dress shirt and he helps his kids with homework 

And deep inside I couldn't help but ask myself 

Why that at night I'm up on stage, everybody knows my name 

While Danny's early picking up somebody else 

Oh isn't that just the way it goes 

You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated 

Oh how am I the only one who knows 

I'm half the man of the men that drive me places

And now everything's not given, I work hard to make my living 

But I'll give credit where I think credits due 

Maybe you got dealt a good hand 

Maybe you play it the best that you can 

But I don't know how far you'd walk without those cards 

In Howard and Danny's working shoes 

But that's just the way it goes 

You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated 

Oh how am I the only one who knows 

I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
