Freeway signs and faded blacktop 
Backstage doors and parkin' lots 
That's the world I mostly see 
Starin' out of a wide window 
A thousand miles away from my home 
That's the gypsy in me 

The gypsy in me can't stay in one place too long 
'Cause there's somebody out there that still ain't heard my song 
Yeah, so I roll on to where this road leads 
That's the gypsy in me 

It's in my heart to bear my soul 
With an old guitar and a microphone 
I stand up here and sing what I believe 
Then I close my eyes and fold my hands 
Thank God I've got a girl that understands 
And loves the gypsy in me 

You know if I'd never heard "I Walk The Line" 
"Freebird" or "You Were Always On My Mind" 
"Ramblin' Man" or "Me And Bobby McGee" 
If I'd never seen the Man In Black 
I wouldn't feel the need to wear this kind of hat 
And there wouldn't be a gypsy in me
