Nighthawkin'
I was a nighthawkin' in my taxi
My fare was a shaky ol' lush
So I kicked it over and took off
Then he whipped out this switch blade
Straight outta nowhere level to my throat
He said "See reb I've been over to the war boy"
I said "I was a combat paratrooper daddy"
Well now he slupped back cool and he pocket that steel
He said "Get me down to fourth and main"
Acechando de noche
Yo estaba acechando de noche en mi taxi
Mi pasajero era un viejo borracho inestable
Así que lo tiré y me fui
Entonces sacó una navaja de la nada
Directo a mi garganta
Dijo 'Mira, yo estuve en la guerra, chico'
Yo le dije 'Yo fui un paracaidista de combate, papá'
Bueno, él se relajó y guardó el acero
Dijo 'Llévame a la cuarta y main'
