Rock And Roll Gypsies - Ray Wylie Hubbard

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
