| The Allman Brothers Band – Melissa Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| I think Melissa is about a guy that the people only knew as Gypsy, because he died in a train accident that's where cross roads always come and go and the freight train verse they all look the same and I think it's a guy that got killed in an accident and possibly he was in love with a woman named Melissa or wife or something in another town and no one knew his name and at the end it talks it talks about his ghost and all that stuff so I think it's about his restless spirit always flying Coast to Coast looking for Melissa. He may fly somewhere else but always comes back to the crossroads where he pulled out in front of a train and got killed. He always comes back looking for Sweet Melissa. I even have a feeling that he gets killed in a town where nobody knew him they only called him Gypsy maybe he and Melissa had a fight and he just drove around upset until he pulls out in front of a freight train and each car looks the same. crossroads will you ever let him go? Anyway that's my two cents worth. | |
