You cannot list Harry Chapin’s “Taxi” without adding the Sequel to the story. I’ll leave it at that, but it is the conclusion to the story of Harry and Sue.

I’ve sung both, back to back, in a studio.

7. [El Paso](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAO7vs_Q9is) – Marty Robbins

Great minds think alike, Spoons, so I changed my post to toss in the old cowboy classic instead  
But I’m including this link to [‘Sequel’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJxJrPx3FDM), since it’s a live version from 1981, and I believe it’s a little more of an extended version than the one found on the album.
