Buckley Willis - Jail Cells and Gypsy Gals Lyrics

Well I was kicking up the dust and I was cursing my bad luck
And thinking on drinking no bottle of wine would call my bluff
So I laid down like a broken arrow and I felt the pain that sinks deep into the marrow
No sparrow's song would move that pain along

I was doing time in the jail cells of her eyes
Serving my life sentence before she blinked twice
I'd never been so God-damned mesmerized
Whoa my that ramblin' rosy gypsy gal o' mine

She could take my breath away and she could spend the night
And make you dream through the day
Whoa my sugar-sweet starry child
But she never learned to keep a home for she was always meant
To roam on and on she'll go
Like an endless river through a meadow

I was doing time in the jail cells of her eyes
Serving my life sentence before she blinked twice
I'd never been so God-damned mesmerized
Whoa my that ramblin' rosy gypsy gal o' mine
Whoa my that ramblin' rosy gypsy gal o' mine
