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
