It was raining hard in Frisco
A Em/A A Em/A
I needed one more fare to make my night

A lady up ahead waved to flag me down

She got in at the light
A Em/A A Em/A
Where you going to my Lady Blue

She just looked out the window

She said, "16 Parkside Lane."

But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken."
G F A Em/A A Em/A
And she didn't say anything more.

It, took a while but she looked in the mirror

A smile seemed to come to her slowly.

It was a sad smile just the same

Through the too many miles and the too little smiles
