"Rock And Roll Gypsies" lyrics

"Rock And Roll Gypsies"

To the faraway places and friends
Of the people and the places I've been
I'll sing you a song, and I won't keep you long
For the tambourine's playin', and the carnival's callin' me on

And the rock and roll gypsies are ridin' tonight
On the carnival strips they'll stay
And the golden earrings laugh at the light
As life is more than a play
For tomorrow will soon be yesterday

To the motherless children who ride
On the shadowless highway at night
It's more than a game
More than fortune or fame
For the winner takes nothing and the loser gets all that remains

And the rock and roll gypsies are ridin' tonight
On the carnival strips they'll stay
And the golden earrings laugh at the light
As life is more than a play
For tomorrow will soon be yesterday

And the rock and roll gypsies are ridin' tonight
On the carnival strips they'll stay
And the golden earrings laugh at the light
As life is more than a play
For tomorrow will soon be yesterday
