"God Fearing Gypsies" lyrics

"God Fearing Gypsies"

The golden days of being young in the summer are gone
I'm still golden
But I'm older
And I feel like I'm feeling it now

Both ends of the candle I've been burning are goin' out
I'm still burnin'
But I'm learnin'
How to burn a little slower now

Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray

If you're a son of a son
With the hand-me-down neon dreams
And your Sunday best is
Your best pair of Levi's jeans

If you drink like you're 21
Love like you're 17
Raising babies and a little hell in between

And Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray

If you're taking the long way
Enjoy the ride and make it sweet
If you're learning the hard way
It'll be alright, you can take it from me

And Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little, oh a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray

Oh, here's to the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
Mm
Oh-oh-oh
