gypsy pilot

when i was a young boy

my mama told me son

you gotta keep it together

you know you're the only one

so i tried to see the sunshine

and tried to feel the rain

but i just couldn't get it together

i was feelin' too much pain

so i got myself a guitar

when i was just a kid

i played rock and roll music

and i'm so glad i did

'cause now i see the sunshine

and now i feel the rain

and i just want to keep it together

and hope you feel the same

now i see the sunshine

and now i feel the rain

and i just want to keep it together

and hope you feel the same

now i jump in my covered wagon

i'm movin' right along

i'm a full fledged gypsy pilot

i'm singin' you my song

and i try to see the sunshine

and i try to feel the rain

and i just want to keep it together

and i hope you feel the same

when they claim my body

they won't have much to say

except that he lived a good life

he lived every day

and i know he saw the sunshine

and i know he felt the rain

and he loved everybody

and he hopes you'll do the same
