paroles de chanson Men That Drive Me Places (Live) - Ben Rector

Howard drives a minivan to the cruise ships from Fort Lauderdale
It's been that way since 1994
Does his business on a flip phone with the most obnoxious ringtones
I didn't ask, but I could 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 nothin', built a future out of hustlin'
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 that drive me places

Danny showed up early, fifteen minutes 'til 5:30
Making sure that I'd be on my morning flight
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
Wore a neatly ironed dress shirt, and he helps his kids with homework
Deep inside I couldn't help but ask myself
While 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

And now everything's not given, I work hard to make a living
But 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 I'd walk without those cards
In Howard or Danny's working shoes

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
Of the men that drive me places

Give it up for Joy everybody
