Threadbare Gypsy Soul Lyrics
Got myself a threadbare gypsy soul,
Like to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows.
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul,
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul.
Got a little wild streak in my heart.
I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start.
I got a little wild streak in my heart,
I got a little threadbare gypsy soul.
I like to hear the highway sounds,
And I don’t think that I’ll ever settle down.
I can’t change and it’s a sin,
Hope St. Peter gonna let me in:
Come on, Pete, won’t you let me in?
I wear this cowboy hat upon my head,
And you can take it off me some time after I am dead.
Got a cowboy hat up on my head,
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul.
I wear these crusty shoes down on my feet.
I could write a book about the places that they’ve seen.
I got these crusty shoes down on my feet,
I got a little wild streak in my heart.
An' I like to hear the highway sounds,
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever settle down.
An' I can’t change an' it’s a sin,
I hope St. Peter's gonna let me in:
Come on, Pete, won’t you let me in?
Instrumental break.
An' I know this crazy livin' just ain't right;
Most of the time I’m smoking, drinking, looking for a fight.
But I’ve been talking to Jesus everyday;
Well, I’ve been talking to Jesus every day.
An' I got this girl back home I call my wife;
If you ever met her I swear she would change your life.
She’s got a little wild streak in her heart,
But she’s been saying hallelujah everyday.
I like to hear the highway sounds,
An' I don’t think that I’ll ever settle down.
An' I can’t change and it might be a sin.
Hope St. Peter gonna let me in:
Got my gypsy soul to bury, Amen.
Instrumental fade out.
how can no one post about this song it is great one of Pat Greens best songs
This is probably my favorite Pat Green song. The fact that Willie Nelson sings in it makes it all the better. This song appeals to me because I can relate to much of the lyrics, including the love for the road, the love of everything that a cowboy stands for, etc. The line "I can't change and it's a sin, I hope Saint Peter's gonna let me in" is cool. It's like we know who were are as a person, we know that we're not perfect; we just hope that we can find someone who'll accept us for all our faults and love us for it. Great song.
