Lyrics

Got myself a threadbare gypsy soul
Like to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul
Got a little wild streak in my heart
I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start
I got a little wild streak in my heart
I got a little threadbare gypsy soul

I like to hear the highway sounds
And I don't think that i'll ever settle down
I can't change and it's a sin
Hope st. peter gonna let me in:
Come on, pete, won't you let me in?

I wear this cowboy hat upon my head
And you can take it off me some time after I am dead
Got a cowboy hat up on my head
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul

I wear these crusty shoes down on my feet
I could write a book about the places that they've seen
I got these crusty shoes down on my feet
I got a little wild streak in my heart

An' I like to hear the highway sounds
Sometimes I wonder if i'll ever settle down
An' I can't change an' it's a sin
I hope st. peter's gonna let me in:
Come on, pete, won't you let me in?

Instrumental break

An' I know this crazy livin' just ain't right;
Most of the time i'm smoking, drinking, looking for a fight
But i've been talking to jesus everyday;
Well, i've been talking to jesus every day

An' I got this girl back home I call my wife;
If you ever met her I swear she would change your life
She's got a little wild streak in her heart
But she's been saying hallelujah everyday

I like to hear the highway sounds
An' I don't think that i'll ever settle down
An' I can't change and it might be a sin
Hope st. peter gonna let me in:
Got my gypsy soul to bury, amen
