Gypsy Biker

Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

 The speculators made their money

On the blood you shed

Your mama's pulled

the sheets up off you bed

The profiteers on Jane Street

Sold you shoes and clothes

Ain't nobody talking

'cause everybody knows

We pulled you cycle out of the garage

And polished up the chrome

Our Gypsy biker's comin' home

 

Sister Mary sits with your colors

Brother John is drunk and gone

This whole town's been rousted

Which side are you on

The favored march up over the hill

In some fools parade

Shoutin' victory for the righteous

But there ain't much here but graves

Ain't nobody talkin'

We're just waitin' on the phone

Our Gypsy biker's comin' home

 

We rode her into the foothills

Bobby brought the gasoline

We stood 'round her in a circle

As she lit up the ravine

The spring high desert wind

Rushed down on us

all the way back home

 

To the dead it don't matter much

'Bout who's wrong or right

You asked me that question

I didn't get it right

You slipped into your darkness

Now all that remains

Is my love for you brother

Lying still and unchanged

To them that threw you away

You ain't nothin' but gone

Our Gypsy biker's comin' home

 

Now I'm out countin' white lines

Countin' white lines and getting stoned

My Gypsy biker's coming home
