Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill
I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you'd bring me those pills

And I got high, and I got drunk, for far too long
And the gypsy train to Houston, is gonna take me along

I told them I'd bring 'em their money if they'd get me back to you

And I got cash, and I got robbed for all I own
And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home
