God Fearing Gypsies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 feelin' 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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'rе twenty-one Love likе you're seventeen Raisin' babies and a little hell in between [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Oh, here's to the God-fearing gypsies That live as hard as they pray Mm Oh-oh-oh
