God Fearing Gypsies

[Verse 1]
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 feelin' 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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'rе twenty-one
Love likе you're seventeen
Raisin' babies and a little hell in between

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh, here's to the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
Mm
Oh-oh-oh
