Leavin' My Home

When I was born,
They laid ashes on my bed,
My daddy swore he'd never leave me for dead,
My story forlorn, all the anguish turning red,

But when the Gypsies call I'll be leavin' my home

When I was young,
The storm clouds blocked out every ray,
Kept my head pointed towards the sun,
Just to keep my demons at bay,
I refused to pray,
I kept my chips on the judgment day,

But when the Gypsies call I'll be leavin' my home

Now that I'm grown,
The storm clouds block out all the sun,
But then it took me twenty years,
Thinking that I'd lost but now I've won,

I don't need the sun,
Or a book to tell me I'm the chosen one,

But when the Gypsies call I'll be leavin' my home
