lyrics

Well I was born here with nothing but a
name and I’m going to die here just the
same. Well I ain’t going to break for you no
more, I ain’t going to be your whipping boy
no more. I went down to the old roadside
prayer stop and I asked the Lord what he
knows. He said "they’ll hang you from your
feet wild-eyed like a lassoed bull. They’ll
curse you like a thief and nail you to the
cross." So fare thee well, my ocean flower.
Your seasons were born for change. Kiss all
my gold, my silver. Kiss it all down the
drain. Well, I’d rather be dead than alive
here on my knees. Well I can’t shake this
price on my head. Well I can’t pay this debt
I owe. I went down to the old roadside
barroom and I told the boys what I know. I
said, "They'll hang you from you're feet wild-eyed like a lassoed bull.They'll curse you like a thief and nail you to the cross." So
fare thee well, my old sill flower. Your
seasons were born for change. Kiss all my
gold, my silver. Kiss it all down the drain.
Well, it’s a gypsy’s life from here on in.
