Lyrics
Hey Hey Momma
Where you going
I think I want to go too
There's a grey hound north bound to Memphis
I think I'll go and sing some blues
Or hitch a ride with some old hippy
I think those kinda guy's are cool
We'll where out some Lynyrd Skynyrd
Then we'll stop and shoot some pool
at some old honky tonk
we'll get all stinking drunk
and try to hussel us some women
That's the life of a rambiling man
When he's got good music in him
Sing a song for the gypsy
Sing a song for the band
Sing a song for them guitar pickers
Who's sleeping in my van
Hey hey momma where you going
Don't you walk out that door
There's a grayhound north bound to memphis
Leaving at 4
At some old honky tonk we'll get all stinking drunk
And try to hussel us some women
That's the life of a rambling man
When he's got good music in him
Sing a song for the gypsy
Sing a song for the band
Sing a song for them guitar pickers
Who's sleeping in my van
