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 twenty-one

Love like you're seventeen

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

Mhm

Oh-oh-oh
