Lyrics
The golden days of being young in the summer are gone
I'm still golden
But I'm older
And I feel like I'm feeling it now
Both ends of the candle I've been burning are going out
I'm still burning
But I'm learning
How to burn a little slower now
Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
If you're a son of a son
With the hand-me-down neon dreams
And your Sunday best is
Your best pair of Levi jeans
If you drink like you're 21
Love like you're 17
Raising babies and a little hell in between
Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
If you're taking the long way
Enjoy the ride and make it sweet
If you're learning the hard way
It'll be alright, you can take it from me
Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
Here's to the God-fearing gypsies that live as hard as they pray
