They say Taylor was a good girl, never one to be late
complain, express ideas in her brain.
Working on the night shift, passing out the tickets,
your gonna have to pay her if you want to park here.
Well mommy's little dancer is quite a little secret
Working on the streets now, never gonna keep it.
It's quite an imposition and now she's only wishin
That she would have listened to the words they say...Poor Taylor.
She just wanders around, unaffected by,
the winter winds yeah, she'll pretend that
She's somewhere else, so far and clear
about two thousand miles, from here.
Well Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window,
but Sunny's silhouette won't let him in.
Poor old Pete's got nothing cuz he's been falling,
And somehow Sunny knows just where he's been.
He thinks that singin on Sunday's gonna save his soul,
now that Saturday's gone.
And sometimes he thinks that he's on his way,
but i can see, that his brake lights ARE on.
He just wanders around, unaffected by,
the winter winds yeah, and he'll pretend that,
he's somewhere else, so far and clear,
about two thousand miles...from here
Such a tough enchilada, filled up with nada,
givin what you gotta give to get a dollar bill.
Used to be a limber chick n' times have been a tickin,
now she's finger lickin to the man,
With the money in his pocket, flying in his rocket,
only stopping by on his way to a better world.
If Taylor finds a better world, then Taylor's gonna run away.

Review about Taylor A masterpiece | Reviewer: Taylor Park | 7/23/09
My name is Taylor and I have always hated my name because it applies to both girls and guys but now i love it because of this song. I feel like this song was written specially for me- especially the last line. But I live in a snowy part of america (winter winds) and I am planning on getting citizenship to England (about 2000 miles away from here so far and clear) That is why the last line fits me so perfectly. This is like the theme song of my life. Thanks the lord for Jack Johnson!!!!
Taylor | Reviewer: Kassidi | 5/9/09
This is funny. i'm naming my unborn child (due on July 24th!) taylor because I'm such a JJ finatic. It's definitly not for the meaning of prostitution, but just for the intellegence of the way he puts his words together. Huge fan!
meaningless?! | Reviewer: fefi | 5/5/09
just to proove that this song is in no way meaningless:
taylor is a prostitute: "workin on the night shift"
peter patrick is a hypocrite christian: "He thinks that singin on Sunday's gonna save his soul"
peter has obviously sinned, and sunny - maybe his wife - knows where he's been.
he thinks he's on his way but "his brake lights are on"... ok now that has 2 meanings i think: 1: he brakes, so he cant be going fast on his way and 2: where would you brake, concerning the first verse? right, at taylors "working place"... and that is where peter has been...
now to verse 3:
taylor is doing what shes gotta do to get her dollar bill, "finger lickin" to the man, who is "flying in his rocket"...
which man? well, somebody that stopped by on his way to a better world... wait, now who was thinking he was on his way? and who had his brake lights on, because he stopped by?... jep... just my thought, and there is much more to find in this great song
my sname too | Reviewer: taylor | 1/31/09
thats my name too! and it's accurate for me too! srry, had to say that. i found a few others with the name too, but they're all about guy's named taylor. it's soooo annoying. GREAT SONG. I LOVE JACK JOHNSON MUSIC. my buddy first intro'd me to his music. she's six and loves curious george, so i heard the song 'upside down' and fell in love. i was like, "who sings that?" any way, i'm getting carried away. great song and artist. he's sooo gifted
awsome!! | Reviewer: Kinsey | 10/15/08
Not only does Jack Johnson have the ability to create awsome beats for a song and amazing lyrics, but he knows how put them together and make an absolute masterpiece! Every song of Jack Johnsons has a meaning, he writes it for his own meaning but puts it in a way we can all relate to! i LOVE Jack Johnson's work! =)
This songs rocks | Reviewer: Anon | 9/2/08
About one month ago, i asked my friend to burn me a cd, just for this song, he ended up burning the whole j.j album for me. This is such an emotional song, word wise and i love the way has has sung it. Jack, you are awesome!
i always wanted to hear a song have my name in it. like, i always here songs about jessie's & stacy's or whatever. lol.
i can't believe someone -called- a song, my name though. :] it's great. haha.
it's pretty accurate, too.. if you know what i mean. <3
definitely my favorite.
;D & my theme song.

I love this song, and i also like all of j.j.'s other songs, especially 'gone going'. this song is a really mysterious song, because of it's lyrics, but j.j. has a way of making you forget everything when your listening ti his songs. Thanks jack.
I have listened to this song for quite awhile now, one of my favorites. Jack Johnson has an incredible ability to make a song yours. This song may very well have been about a prostitute. However, I connected to the song an entirely different way. In fact, if I can identify with a song in some way, I will usually like it. If a song has an ability to envoke emotion in any capacity, I find great value in it. This song, like many other J.J. songs do both of these things, and and in my opinion that is what music is all about.
