Wild Eyed Gypsies

John Hiatt


Think I'll save up a little money
Goin' down to Mexico
Take up with some crazy spanish lady
Listen to the old wind blow
She got earrings
And she dances
I'm an old rusty razor blade

Ten to one
I'll take my chances
I just ain't near as sharp
As the day I was made

I said look out
There goes another
Wild-eyed gypsy

Bartender, serve me up another
Just one more, man
Then I'm goin' home
No, pal
We're just as crazy as all the others
One more wild-eyed
Gypsy who lives alone

I said look out
There goes another
Wild-eyed gypsy

I said look out
There goes another
Wild-eyed gypsy
