Taxi Dancer Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Well she started out, just to be a dancer 

Gonna make her livin' dancin' in the Broadway shows 

So she hitchhiked cross the country from Pasaroba to the Big Red Apple 

Where your dreams are made, your debts must be paid on time 

I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams, how they faded away 

I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage 

Well she wasn't used to livin' in the city 

So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid at the Grammercy Park Hotel 

And all her auditions, no, didn't turn out so pretty 

So she took a job dancin' at the bar down a street as well

I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams, how they faded away 

I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

We can pretend this floor is the Broadway 

Well I don't know how long or how far her fortune did take her 

But I heard she sits alone drunk downtown 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 

I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams, how they faded away 

I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage 

I'll hold you close 

I'll hold you close

I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

Faded away 

Hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

Faded away 

Hold you close, Taxi Dancer 

Faded away
