Gypsies

2007 Kevin McGee (ASCAP)/Try ‘Em Publishing (BMI)

Gypsies and cowboys live for the thrill of the moment and then they move on
To them every road only leads away and they can’t wait until they’re gone
And you were just dying for one last taste of the freedom you had back then
So you went to find the fountain to fill yourself up with youth again

Running with wind in your hair and under your wings
Nothing to stop you and you don’t stop for anything

Gypsies and cowgirls are angles that watch one another and rescue their own
They don’t pretend to give in to the same old clichés that make them alone
And you were just dying inside where unlit desires were calling your name
So you can quit trying to hide it, the truth is you left it before you came

Running without looking back sure makes you feel good
Nothing’s worth staying when you are so misunderstood
Reckless abandon, you fell when you made your last stand
Bright lights and long nights sound like a story that’s over before it began
