Rock-N-Roll Gypsies

Written by Roger Tillison

 

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.
