It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how I feel
I've been dreamin' floatin' down the stream
And losin' touch with all that's real
Whole earth lover keepin' undercover
Never knowin' where ya been
You've been fadin', always out paradin'
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out 'cause someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind. Yes it is
The way I see it you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy just a drag
You still stuff your mind with them dreams
You better check it out 'cause someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind. Yes it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy just a drag
You still stuff your mind with them dreams
You better check it out 'cause someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
I said a tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
Tell ya honey how I feel
I've been dreamin' floatin' down the stream
And losin' touch with all that's real
Never knowin' where ya been
You've been fadin', always out paradin'
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out 'cause someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
It's so hard to find peace of mind. Yes it is

Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

This song rox. I think it's about when you're out on the road sometimes ya have to come back to your roots. "Keep in touch with Mama Kin. Tell her where you gone and been" and "Don't forget to drop me a line". It is about stayin' in contact with ur family
Hey Irish deftone 6, I agree with you. Liv tyler......whoah! But no one hear has really got down to mentioning what they felt the lyrics meant. It's about living the life that you want to & not playing to another person's idea. It's about doing whatever YOU want & what YOU feel you need, without giving a shit about what the others do.
its about keepin in touch with ppl.
ive actually spoken to a member of aerosmith about what it means and "Aerofrog" is pretty much right. its kind of about keeping in touch with your roots.
one of the best aerosmith songs ever
def. some kick ass aerosmith here...
i love the piano in this too
I didn't hear any piano in the studio version, Aerobabe. Is it really low in the mix?
on 'a little south of sanity' u can hear it :) especially in a part in the beginning
Best Aerosmith song, Hands down. Steve, I want to plow your daughter. Thank you and good night.
