lyrics

rafaelito, honduran cabbie
what were the chances we'd meet again?
all the medallions in a city of millions
2 times i hail
1 in 4
months it's him
1st time we met he scolded playfully
for not holding open the door for my friend
she since done left for some more
polite gentlemen
rafaelito is sorry to hear
ain't always easy to tell you're flying
when you're riding in the back seat
rafaelito has some land upstate
goes when he can and drinks from his well
built his own shack out of boards that got milled from
trees off the property he felled by himself
used to ride horses
semi-pro jockey
now paying bills and driving the cab
dream is to have his own thoroughbred grazing
and maybe a lady who'd like a good man
ain't always easy to tell who's driving
when you're riding in the back seat
