Desperation sinkin in just 17 yrs old all strung out from end to end he needs someone to pick him up but they all just put
Him down like a lost gypsy in the night as he rolls from town to town rolls from town to town
Where did he come from and where will he go hes been on his own so d*** long with no place to call his home he prays for
Redemption he prays he'll see the light he prays he'll quit this gypsy life well someday he might
Hes been on his own so long that he cant remember when his momma found a new boyfriend who she thought more of than him so
One night while they slept well he left and he robbed them blind jumped on the first bus west to see what he could find see
What he could find
Where did he come from and where will he go hes been on his own so d*** long with no place to call his home he prays for
Redemption and he prays he'll see the light he prays he'll quit this gypsy life well someday he might
California is a field of dreams so they say hes been livin on the streets of you can find him there today hes livin hand to
Mouth and hes takin it day by day just wishin he could go back home well someday he'll find a way yeah he'll find a way
Where did he come from and where will he go hes been on his own so d*** long with no place to call his home he prays for
Redemption and he prays he'll see the light he prays he'll quit this gypsy life well someday he might
Someday he might
Someday he might
