When I was only a boy And the world was so new, Then I long to see it all, To explore every place, To get on with thr race of my life Then it all sseems to change, There was no time for games, Only fighting to succeed, And the cities were great, When the sudden I saw the time
As the leaders arranged Pity wars without change, The is no time left to dream, So I'm packing my bags as I hear the highways call . . .
Take me with you, gypsy lady, When you leave the lonely people behind, Take me with you, gypsy lady, Through the melodies we'll fly, Sing me stories I can dream to, There will never be a memory of pain This is the life for me free as a child again Take me with you, gypsy lady, Whene you leave the lonely world behind, Tell me of the secret places Will forever you will seem to fill my heart again
After learning the score, Building up to report, Always doing it with smile, It doesn't make any sense Living out of pretends for the show. It's an alien place Seems that every face never has a chance to smile, So I'm off in the road as I hear the highways call . . .
