Little Big Town God Fearing Gypsies

AlphabetLyrics.com

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 goin' out
I'm still burnin'
But I'm learnin'
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's jeans.

If you drink like you're 21
Love like you're 17
Raising babies and a little hell in between.

And 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.

And father time
Mother mary jane
Jack and jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little, oh a little goes a long, long way
Long live the god-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray.

Oh, here's to the god-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
Mm...
Oh-oh-oh...
