ROLL ON GYPSY

Thousands miles, an endless ride, just my six string by my side
Another town a change of pace, sometimes you need a familiar face
Roll on gypsy, roll on
—Roll on gypsy roll on
Roll on gypsy roll on
Won’t you carry me back home
A pretty girl, so sweet and young, looking for love what have I done?
Another lie, but what’s at stake? Another heart will have to break
Roll on gypsy, roll on
—Roll on gypsy, roll on
Roll on gypsy, roll on
Won’t you carry me back home
No one knows me, just what I play, what’s the difference anyway?
My heart and soul in a melody, but another song is all it’ll ever be
Roll on gypsy, roll on
—Roll on gypsy, roll on
Roll on gypsy, roll on
Won’t you carry me back home
Can’t take another step but on I go
—Just a bottle of Jack and then it’s on with the show...
On with the show...
On with the show....
Larger than life in the lights I stand, Jack in my mind, guitar in my hand
This loneliness it tears me apart,
tears fall like rain inside my heart
Roll on gypsy, roll on
—Roll on gypsy, roll on
Roll on gypsy, roll on
Won’t you carry me back home
The roar of the crowd on which I thrive, a fleeting fix that keeps me alive
The house lights fall it’s time to go
—one more mile and one more show!
Singing,
Roll on gypsy, roll on
—Roll on gypsy, roll on
Roll on gypsy, roll on
The road goes on and on...
Roll on gypsy roll on
Turn this bus around and take me home
Roll on gypsy roll on
Won’t you carry me?
