Gypsies On Parade Lyrics

We pulled out of Charlotte
The snow was falling down
We make our way
In this one-eagle sleigh
'Till we reach another town
Our name is in lights
On the billboard signs
In every town we play
But if you may
All it really need say
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
