Threadbare Gypsy Soul
Got myself a threadbare gypsy soul,
Like to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows.
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul,
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul.
Got a little wild streak in my heart.
I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start.
I got a little wild streak in my heart,
I got a little threadbare gypsy soul.
I like to hear the highway sounds,
And I donâ"š¬â"ž¢t think that Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll ever settle down.
I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t change and itâ"š¬â"ž¢s a sin,
Hope St. Peter gonna let me in:
Come on, Pete, wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t you let me in?
I wear this cowboy hat upon my head,
And you can take it off me some time after I am dead.
Got a cowboy hat up on my head,
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul.
I wear these crusty shoes down on my feet.
I could write a book about the places that theyâ"š¬â"ž¢ve seen.
I got these crusty shoes down on my feet,
I got a little wild streak in my heart.
An' I like to hear the highway sounds,
Sometimes I wonder if Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll ever settle down.
An' I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t change an' itâ"š¬â"ž¢s a sin,
I hope St. Peter's gonna let me in:
Come on, Pete, wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t you let me in?
Instrumental break.
An' I know this crazy livin' just ain't right;
Most of the time Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m smoking, drinking, looking for a fight.
But Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been talking to Jesus everyday;
Well, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been talking to Jesus every day.
An' I got this girl back home I call my wife;
If you ever met her I swear she would change your life.
Sheâ"š¬â"ž¢s got a little wild streak in her heart,
But sheâ"š¬â"ž¢s been saying hallelujah everyday.
I like to hear the highway sounds,
An' I donâ"š¬â"ž¢t think that Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll ever settle down.
An' I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t change and it might be a sin.
Hope St. Peter gonna let me in:
Got my gypsy soul to bury, Amen.
Instrumental fade out.
