Got myself a threadbare gypsy soul
Like to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows
Gotta a little threadbare gypsy soul

Gotta little threadbare gypsy soul
Gotta little wild streak in my heart
I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start

I gotta little wild streak in my heart
I gotta little threadbare gypsy soul


Chorus
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's gonna let me in
Come on Pete won't you let me in


I wear this cowboy hat up on my head
And you can take it off me some time after I am dead

Gotta cowboy hat up on my head
Gotta 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 gotta these crusty shoes down on my feet

I got a little wild streak in my heart

Chorus


I know this crazy living just ain't right
Most of the time I'm smoking, drinking, looking for a fight

But I've been talking to Jesus every day
And I've been talking to Jesus every day


And I got this girl back home I call my wife
If you ever meet her, I swear she would change your life
She's gotta little wild streak in her heart

But she’s been saying hallelujah every day

Chorus
