The Men That Drive Me Places |
Howard drives a minivan to the cruise ships from Fort Lauderdale |
And it’s been that way since 1994 |
Does his business on a flip phone with the most obnoxious ringtone |
I didn’t ask, but I can tell he’s from New York |
He spoke proudly of his daughter and that this fall she’d be in college |
And that he always wished he’d gotten his degree |
You can tell he came from nothing, built a future out of hustling |
And somehow I’m the one you people pay to see |
Oh, isn’t that just the way it goes? |
You’re dealt a good hand and you get celebrated |
Oh, how am I the only one who knows |
I’m half the man of the men who drive me places? |
Danny showed up early, fifteen minutes till 5:30 |
Making sure that I’d be on my morning flight |
He said he’d love to fix computers, but that he can’t until he’s fluent |
So he spends his driving money taking class at night |
He wore a neatly ironed dress shirt, and he helps his kids with homework |
Deep inside I couldn’t help but ask myself |
Why that night I’m up on stage, everybody knows my name |
While Danny’s early picking up somebody else? |
Oh, isn’t that just the way it goes? |
You’re dealt a good hand and you get celebrated |
Oh, how am I the only one who knows |
I’m half the man of the men that drive me places? |
Now everything’s not given, I work hard to make a living |
I’ll give credit where I think the credit’s due |
Maybe you got dealt a good hand |
Maybe you play it the best that you can |
But I don’t know how far you’d walk without those cards |
In Howard or Danny’s working shoes |
But that’s just the way it goes |
You’re dealt a good hand and you get celebrated |
Oh, how am I the only one who knows |
I’m half the man of the men that drive me places? |
