You're the last taxi fare for the night
The driver says, is it alright
To pick one more up at the bar
He's too drunk to drive
and it's too cold
to walk
It's the last person you need to see
The last seat you needed to share
And you'd rather feel the icy embrace
of
Lake
Michigan takin' your air
God sends an angel
to teach you to fly
Above your transgressions
and fears of your life
Above all your heartache
and trouble and shame
To find you on your knees
again
It's the only ride you found to take
To get away from the smoke
-filled bowling lane
Should've left early before
it got started
Yeah, before you got so
damn downhearted
Cause it's the laughter that
haunts all your dreams
The drinkin' that feeds all your fears
And though you're honky -tonk,
baby still loves you
That's a weakness,
it's too much to bear
God sends an angel to teach you to fly
Above your transgressions,
the fears of your life
Above all your heartache,
trouble and shame
And I'll find you on your knees
Shuttered and sparkling,
Wisconsin night
The heater's a lullaby
You stammered, I thank you
Stumbled from the car
The driver leaned out and said
Hey
Pops, I'll be back to help you to pay
God sends an angel
To teach you to fly
For your transgression
And the fears of your life
For all your heartache
Trouble and shame and the
fears of your life
Above all your heartache,
trouble and shame
To find you on your knees again
Above all your heartache,
trouble and shame
To find you on your knees again
You
