Run Little Gypsy

Chris Pratt, Copyright October 2002

Came home that evening, same as any other day
been trouble comin, longer than I want to say
Livin in her prison, locked up in her head
wishin for some magic, wishin I was dead

I say whats the matter, blew up in my face
she just started screamin, gone without a trace
didn't place no value on what our life had been
she just wanted freedom, to find her peace within

Run Little Gypsy Run away from me, don't know whats inside of you
Run Little Gypsy Run away from me, you know what you've gotta do
Run Little Gypsy Run away from me, your freedom comes without a fight
Run Little Gypsy Run away from me, go and find your peace tonight

I just had to stand there, let it all sink in
She'd branded me her problem, just how I thought it'd been
The coldness in her voice told me, no love left inside
The hatred for the life we had, she didn't try to hide

Chorus
solo

Freedom always takes it's toll, leaves someone far behind
but those it drives to find it, can't be the caring kind
seems better grass is growing anywhere but here
but when you're on the other side, another fence appears

Chorus
