lyrics
Gypsy girl, let me buy you some pearls and then maybe you’ll stay a while. Gypsy girl, give me a twirl because your freedom is beautiful.
She took my heart, on a cold train to Memphis, a cold hearted temptress and I admit I was bested, but this love I invested. Is bound to get tested as she dances towards the sun.
Chorus:
Gypsy girl, ill trade you a cigarette for a lifetime of intellect as she dances towards the sun.
Verse:
I had leatherback knowledge, she had a bag and some mileage when our paths decided to cross. Against all odds, we found each other but some things are better off lost.
(Chorus)
Verse:
She believed in the stars and finding truth in her cards, and for me I was a holy man. Shes get up and go, her direction the road and for me, I always needed a plan.
