From the recording Tall Tree
A friend of mine called one morning to tell me the odometer on his less than a year old tuck had just rolled over to 99,99999 miles. He was a traveling salesman, probably one of the last of his kind. I thought this deserved a song.
Lyrics
When you rode into into my life, it really took me by surprise
This broken Gypsy heart did not believe,
There could be someone else like me with a longing to be free
and a gentle gypsy heart to rest beside
Gypsy heart, Gypsy soul
you're always one step from the road
the part I love the best
is when you lay your head to rest
You're dreaming of our lovin' Gypsy home
When you're gone a long, long time, my heart begins to pine
for your sweet kiss and your laughter in my ear
You may be far on down the road, but your ramblin' spirit goes
drifting off to find me in my dreams
Gypsy heart, Gypsy soul
you're always one step from the road
the part I love the best
is when you lay your head to rest
You're dreaming of our lovin' Gypsy home
Where are you now my Gypsy love, What are you thinking of?
What did you find in the rising of the sun?
So many stories to be told, and new highways to unfold
Keep your Gypsy heart a'ramblin all the time
