slide away

I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
(Joni Mitchell, "River", 1971)

cab driver

Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't you like my kind of skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win
(Lenny Kravitz, "Mr. Cab Driver", 1990)
