Back Seat Stories, Meter Running
by Cassio Lune
“A midnight taxi, wipers keeping time, and the driver humming along. It's the first thing I wrote upstairs from the ovens.”

Lyrics
Midnight taxi, wipers keeping time The driver hums along to the radio He says, I've carried brides and I've carried crime And a man who cried all the way to Kokomo Meter running, let the stories flow Back seat stories, slow and low Every fare's a chapter, every light's a line Ride a little longer, you and me tonight He tells of a lady with a violin Who played him Brahms at a red light on Main He says the city's a book, you just step in And every passenger's a different refrain Meter running, let the stories flow Back seat stories, slow and low Every fare's a chapter, every light's a line Ride a little longer, you and me tonight Twenty years of rain on the glass Twenty years of watching people pass He says, kid, be kind to the ones you meet Everyone's going somewhere down this street Meter running, let the stories flow Back seat stories, slow and low Every fare's a chapter, every light's a line Ride a little longer, you and me tonight Meter running Slow and low
