Ricky Nelson Gypsy Pilot
When I was a young boy My mama told me son You gotta keep it together You know you're the only one
So I tried to see the sunshine And tried to feel the rain But I just couldn't get it together I was feelin' too much pain
So I got myself a guitar When I was just a kid I played rock and roll music And I'm so glad I did
'Cause now I see the sunshine And now I feel the rain And I just want to keep it together And hope you feel the same
Now I see the sunshine And now I feel the rain And I just want to keep it together And hope you feel the same
Now I jump in my covered wagon I'm movin' right along I'm a full fledged gypsy pilot I'm singin' you my song
And I try to see the sunshine And I try to feel the rain And I just want to keep it together And I hope you feel the same
When they claim my body They won't have much to say Except that he lived a good life He lived every day
And I know he saw the sunshine And I know he felt the rain And he loved everybody And he hopes you'll do the same
