He never stays more than a day or two Something is calling him Years on his face, rhythm and grace Are so much a part of him He will groove you He's a melody He's a mystery He will move you And the women cry When he says goodbye Running wild as the wind blows Following dreams down twisted roads One way, with no signs leading home Well it's a neon life he lives Never gets back what he gives His song is the only truth he knows And the gypsy rolls His sweet guitar speaks for his soul She is his mistress Sweat on his brow, he lives for the crowd And his tune that they sing with He will groove you He's a melody He's a mystery He will move you And the women cry When he says goodbye Running wild as the wind blows Following dreams down twisted roads One way, with no signs leading home Well it's a neon life he lives Never gets back what he gives His song is the only truth he knows And the gypsy rolls Look up, he's on He lives and he's burning our legacy Now you're there It's real He's the gypsy king Running wild as the wind blows Following dreams down twisted roads One way, with no signs leading home Well it's a neon life he lives Never gets back what he gives His song is the only truth he knows And the gypsy rolls
