Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya, honey, how I feel
I've been dreamin'
Floatin' down stream and losin' touch with all that's real
[Verse 2]
Whole Earth lover, keepin' undercover
Never knowin' where ya been
You've been fadin', always out paradin'
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
[Chorus]
Well, you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon
[Verse 3]
It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
And it's so hard to find peace of mind (Yes, it is)
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
[Chorus]
Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your dad is just a drag
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon
[Bridge]
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
[Bridge]
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
[Verse 4]
It ain't easy, livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Everybody
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
[Chorus]
Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your dad is just a drag
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon
[Outro]
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
I said now tell where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
