Gypsies On Parade Songtext

Are gypsies
Gypsies on parade

We pull into a diner
Folks just stop and stare
You hear 'em say, "Man
It's a rock 'n' roll band
By the look
and the clothes they wear"
And you telephone home
'Cause you're feeling alone
And try to think of something to say
It seems all you get
Are tears of regret
For being gypsies
Gypsies on parade

CHORUS:
Gypsies on parade
Vagabonds that got it made They don't know but they've been told
About the diamond rings
And fancy things we wear
They don't know what dues we pay
For being gypsies
Gypsies on parade

Home is where the heart is
But the heart is never home
As I count the white lines
And these exit signs
This guitar is all I ever hold
But the stories we can tell
Or the stories we can't
Make better all the time spent away
From family and friends
Oh it never ends
For gypsies
Gypsies on parade

CHORUS

We pulled out of Charlotte
The snow was falling down
