On to the streets of Memphis
Down and on to New Orleans
Gonna find a Cajun lady to make a man outta me
Livin like there's no tomorrow
Coming when it comes my way
Well it's a long (day) road
And new town to go everyday
Lord, I'm a gypsy man, that's what I am
Yeah, I'm a drifter getting by, getting by the best I can
It's blood on the highway
I live on the road
It's blood on the highway
That's eating my soul, my soul, my soul
Lord I'm never coming home
Muddy water Mississippi
Drag me on to Caroline
Hot toten mama
Wish she was a friend of mine
Livin like there's no tomorrow
Lovin' when it come my way
Well, it's a lonely road
And a new town to go everyday
Lord, I'm a gypsy man
That's what I am
Yeah, I'm a drifter getting by
Getting by the best I can
It's blood on the highway
I live on the road
It's blood on the highway
That's eating my soul, my soul, my soul
I'm never coming home
