Martin Sexton - In the Journey lyrics

I was a fool I was so much younger then The night she took me by surprise I should have known all the trouble that I'd be in But then she hooked me with those eyes Her drink was gin as she said "Tonight would never end" But her love weighed so heavy on my mind For she was the live-in lover of a drummer I called my friend She weren't nothing but a gypsy in disguise Gypsy woman, how'd you do that to me? Gypsy woman, stole my heart and then you set me free Gypsy woman, how'd you learn to like that? Gypsy woman, come on back Spending my wages on rose and wine We'd ride the days and we'd dance the nights The things we could do in my old VW The city lights never seemed so bright from the reservoir And my friends they would warn me Saying she's one fickle queen Better get out while the getting is good my friend And besides her old drummer man is looking And he's so big and bad and mean But what I didn't know then is what I know too well She played me like a violin Gypsy woman, how'd you do that to me? Gypsy woman, stole my heart and then you set me free Gypsy woman, how'd you learn to like that? Gypsy woman, come on back So you tell me that you're leaving me now After all the times that we have been through As your clown how am I gonna ever go home Somebody tell me what am I gonna do And so it goes I lost my pride and I lost my job This gypsy woman took nearly every thing I called my own It was a big surprise So next time she comes dancing prancing through the town Gonna recognize the gypsy, I'm gonna recognize the gypsy Gonna recognize the gypsy in disguise
