I used to be now I'm not what you see Lord I try And now it seems all those dreams have come true But they're passing me by Some fast talkin' mama for a dollar put a smile on my face I'm drivin' all night I end up in the same old place
My gypsy road can't take me home I drive all night just to see the light My gypsy road can't take me home I keep on pushin' cause it feels alright
And who's to care if I grow my hair to the sky I'll take a wish and a prayer cross my fingers cause I always get by Some fast talkin' jerk for a dollar wiped the smile off my face I'm drivin' all night Just to keep the rat in the race
Sometimes I feel so old Got my lights burnin' bright But I'm lookin' pretty sold Sometimes I feel so cold So cold Let's go
Got to get on home My gypsy road can't take me home My gypsy road can't take me home, t-t-take me
My gypsy road can't take me home I drive all night just to see the light My gypsy road can't take me home I keep on p-p-pushin' My gypsy road
