I got myself a threadbare gypsy soul   Likes to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows   Got a little threadbare gypsy soul   Got a little threadbare gypsy soul      Got a little wild streak in my heart   I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start   I got a little wild streak in my heart   I got a little threadbare gypsy soul      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 gonna let me in   Come on Pete, won?t you let me in?      I wear this cowboy hat upon my head   And you can take it off me some time after I am dead   Got a cowboy hat up on my head   Got a 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 got these crusty shoes down on my feet   I got a little wild streak in my heart      An' I like to hear the highway sounds   Sometimes I wonder if I?ll ever settle down   An' I can?t change an' it?s a sin, I hope St. Peter's gonna let me in   Come on Pete, won?t you let me in?      An' I know this crazy livin' just ain't right   Most of the time I?m smoking, drinking, looking for a fight   But I?ve been talking to Jesus everyday   Well, I?ve been talking to Jesus everyday      An' I got this girl back home I call my wife   If you ever met her I swear she would change your life   She?s got a little wild streak in her heart   But she?s been saying hallelujah everyday      I like to hear the highway sounds   An' I don?t think that I?ll ever settle down   An' I can?t change and it might be a sin, hope St. Peter gonna let me in   Got my gypsy soul to bury, Amen
