I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes
All right
Gypsy
Way up in my tree I'm sitting by my fire
Wonderin' where in this world might you be
And known' all the time
Your still rollin' along the country side
Do you still think about me?
Oh my
Gypsy
Well I walked right on up to your rebel road side
The one that rambles on for a million miles
Yes I walked down this road searching for your love
And I found some too
But I found her I ain't gonna let go
I remember the first time I saw you
The tears in your eyes oh that girl's tryin' to say
Oh little girl you know I could love you
But first I must make my getaway
Two strange men fightin' to the death over me today
I'll try and meet you by the old highway
Hey!
Well I realize that I've been hypnotized
I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes
I've been searching so long
I think they made me lose the battle
Down against the road my worry knees
Off to the side I fall but I hear her sweet call
My gypsy eyes fine and I've been saved
Oh I've been saved
That's why I love you
I said I love you
Lord I love you

The same could be said of a lot of deceased "legendary" artists (e.g., Buddy Holly, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Nick Drake). They might all be playing mall-openings or county fairs if they were alive today. One can theorize, but we'll never know for sure - well, not unless we complete work on that time machine. |

| ziggytrix | Posted: Jun 11, 2006 - 15:37 I wish Jimi hadn't died 7 years before I was even born. :( Whatever afterlife he's in, I wanna go there when I die, cuz they'll have the best shows. |
| lixy (Sverige) | Posted: May 13, 2006 - 11:37 I bet J.J. Cale got inspired from that one for "Cocaine" (the song not the drug  ). |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Apr 28, 2006 - 22:08 Great song! The energy behind it is far more than some bands today. |
| guitar_man_101 (Winnipeg Manitoba Canada) | Posted: Apr 14, 2006 - 08:15 Im a hendrix fan, but this song is just not his thing. Good guitar solo's, but the song is just kinda, bad. |
