Lyrics:
verse 1
It ain't easy livin like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how i feel
I've been dreamin', floating down the stream an'
Losin' touch with all that's real
Chorus:
Well, you've always got you tail in a wag (?)
Shooting fire from yo mouth just like a Draaaagon
You act like a perpetual day
You better knock it off or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the Waaagon
verse 2
It ain't easy livin like you wanna
It's so hard to find piece of mind (yes it is)
The way i see it you got to say shit
but don't forget to drop me a line
(chorus) + |Keepin' touch with Mama Kin|
|Tell em where you gone and been|
|Livin out your fantasy|
|Sleepin late and smokin tea|
verse 2
(chorus) + |Keepin' touch with Mama Kin|
|Tell em where you gone and been|
|Livin out your fantasy|
|Sleepin late and smokin tea|
