Ain't It the Strangest World
I was born in a taxi cab
the driver cut the cord while the meter was running
The papers ran the photo the next day
Me and my mama and the cabbie all smiling
Even the governor called to say
Chorus
Ain't it the strangest world
It's wild and it's dangerous
Soft as a pearl
Bring on the changes
Ain't it a beautiful world
a beautiful world, a beautiful world
My friend took an old jet liner
He and his girl were trying to figure out the future
The plane hit a wall of thunder
the fusillage bent like a wishbone nearly breaking
He fell to knees in the aisle and proposed that day
Chorus
I want to be a medicine man baby
You make the call and I'll come running
Even in the middle of the night you say
We could fall asleep in front of the fire
A candle, some wine, and the movie we're watching
But I would walk through fire just to touch your
face.
Chorus
