A Room With A View Lyrics - Gretchen Peters

I drive a cab in Brooklyn, I like my job okay 

Nobody breathin' down my neck, I just drive around all day 

I meet all kinds of people, I've got the gift of gab 

Been everything from bums to kings in the back seat of my cab 

And I got a roof over my head 

I got three square meals and a nice warm bed 

I got a place I can call my own when the day is through 

I got a room with a view 

Don't have much education but I know how people are 

You'd be surprised what you can learn from the front seat of a car 

I sleep real good most every night and my baby, he does too 

We ain't rich but we're all right just doin' what we do 

And I got a roof over my head 

I got three square meals and a nice warm bed 

I got a place I can call my own when the day is through 

I got a room with a view 

Now when this life is over and the angels take me back 

I'll let em drive my yellow cab and I'll be the one in back 

But this world don't owe me nothin', I learned that long ago 

Got everything I'll ever need to get me where I wanna go 

And I got a roof over my head 

I got three square meals and a nice warm bed 

I got a place I can call my own when the day is through 

I got a room with a view
