lyrics

And now we’re falling through
And I’m drinking for two
Like a vagabond out on the road
Betraying my roots
And I get stronger and stronger
Each mile I run for you

And this cigarette won’t change the fact that
I’m on fire for you

You drank the muddy waters
I climbed up just to see
You tried to put out fire
With all this gasoline
I let you do your thing and
Be another gypsy soul
Ma ma my, ma ma my
Just be my home

And now you can’t pretend
Up around the bend
It’s all smooth sailing
We ain’t gotta deal with my friend
But I’m a loner I told you
This heart needs to make amends

But these issues don’t mean shit
If you ain’t even here in the end

You drank the muddy waters
I climbed up just to see
You tried to put out fire
With all this gasoline
I let you do your thing and
Be another gypsy soul
Ma ma my, ma ma my
Just be my home

Higher and higher
I feel this fire burning higher and higher
You got the power to inspire my to rise up
I feel it burning

You drank the muddy waters
I climbed up just to see
You tried to put out fire
With all this gasoline
I let you do your thing and
Be another gypsy soul
Ma ma my, ma ma my
Just be my home
