The golden days of being young in the summer are gone
I´m still golden
But I´m older
And I feel like I´m feeling it now

Both ends of the candle I´ve been burning are goin´ out
I´m still burnin´
But I´m learnin´
How to burn a little slower now

Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
If you´re a son of a son
With the hand-me-down neon dreams
And your Sunday best is
Your best pair of Levi´s jeans

If you drink like you´re 21
Love like you´re 17
Raising babies and a little hell in between

And Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray

If you´re taking the long way
Enjoy the ride and make it sweet
If you´re learning the hard way
It´ll be alright, you can take it from me

And Father Time
Mother Mary Jane
Jack and Jesus
Sunshine and rain
Just a little, oh a little goes a long, long way
Long live the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
Oh, here´s to the God-fearing gypsies
That live as hard as they pray
Mm
Oh-oh-oh
