[Verse 1]

Got my first guitar

When I was nine years old

My daddy bought it at a store in Chicago

And he worked the line for the railroad

Brought it home one early dawn

And handed it to me with a smile

Felt my soul light up, I said

"Thank you, pop," and I became a gypsy child

[Chorus]

Gypsy wind got a hold on me

Gonna ride it 'til I reach the stars

Don't know if I can stop once I start

I was born with the gypsy wind in my heart

Gypsy wind got a hold on me

Gonna ride it 'til I reach the stars

I know I'll never stop once I start

I was born with the gypsy wind in my heart

[Verse 2]

Gypsy wind blowin' through my hair

From the window of a big old bus

Gypsy wind on the arms of strangers

Who smile and wave back at us

I got my band and my crew and they know just what to do

When thе gypsy wind settles for a while

Wе'll play a song for you, not too sad or too true

And maybe with a gypsy smile

[Chorus]

Gypsy wind got a hold on me

Gonna ride it 'til I reach the stars

Don't know if I can stop once I start

I was born with the gypsy wind in my heart

Gypsy wind got a hold on me

Gonna ride it 'til I reach the stars

I know I'll never stop once I start

I was born with the gypsy wind in my heart

[Bridge]

Across the mountains, through the Delta and the prairie

Indian legend say somethin' blows wild and free

Can't say I've ever seen it, but they tell me it's my friend

I only know when I feel it

It feels like the gypsy wind

[Chorus]

Gypsy wind got a hold on me

Gonna ride it 'til I reach the stars

Don't know if I can stop once I start

I was born with the gypsy wind in my heart

Gypsy wind got a hold on me

Gonna ride it 'til I reach the stars

I know I'll never stop once I start

I was born with the gypsy wind in my heart
