Lyrics

I'm a soldier of fortune
Goin' down a dusty road
Got the wind at my back
Carryin' a heavy load
From Algiers to Santa Barbara
And every mile in between
I've looked for safe harbor
And I washed my soul clean
I've been alone nearly all my life
The road is open wide
Electric gypsy, take the wheel and drive
For a while
[Instrumental]
Out where the wild winds blowin'
And under the London bridge
I've seen the high grass growin'
Across the valley and up the ridge
The sky is my companion
The ocean is my friend
Sometimes I feel abandoned
Fightin' demons from within
I've been alone nearly all my life
The road is open wide
Electric gypsy, take the wheel and drive
For a while
For a while
[Instrumental]
No, it ain't been easy
For me and my electric gypsy
[Instrumental]
Electric gypsy
[Instrumental]
Electric gypsy
[Instrumental]
Take the wheel
Take the wheel and drive
For a while
