Ghandi Drove A Cab

Gandhi Drove A Cab
(by Cary Cooper)

Gandhi drove a cab in New York City
He picked me up one night in late July
I sang my saddest song on ukulele
And in the mirror I saw Gandhi cry

I asked him why he cried when I was singing
He said it helps me feel your hurting heart
For who am I if I don’t hold my sister
And catch her when she needs to fall apart.

Cause I believe in love
And all that I can give
As long as I’m alive
I'm gonna live

Bobby came from New York City also
But now he calls Portlandia his home
He has another house way out in Tucson
Cause my friend, Bobby, he likes to roam

I asked him one time why he was so happy
He told me something that I wont forget
Happy doesn’t come from making money
It comes from living life no regret

Cause I believe in love
And all that I can give
As long as I’m alive
I'm gonna live

It’s a big blue world
Were all in this together
It’s for certain
We all need each other
Sometimes it’s my turn
Sometimes it’s yours
But I’m sure, yeah I’m sure

Cause I believe in love
And all that I can give
As long as I’m alive
I'm gonna live
