Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler Lyrics by Adam Carroll

Old Town Rock ’N Roll

2008

[Chorus]
He was an Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler
Comin' and goin', low and high
Rock and rollin', hayseed hustler
With his honky tonk wings and his old snake eye
[Verse 1]
Drivin' down the West Coast highway
The songs out the window, was all he had to lose
Cuttin' heads on the chitlins circuit
But he couldn't kick the red dirt off of his, alligator shoes
[Chorus]
He was an Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler
Comin' and goin', ain't never gonna stay
Midnight jivin' red dirt hustler
Livin' that low down ol' Red River way
[Bridge]
And he did it with a bible, and he did it with a gun
Tryin' to get away from the damage that he done
And he did it with a guitar, late into the night
Tryin' to live just like the songs that he would write
[Verse 2]
Snortin' cocainе off a buck knife
3.2 drinkin', playin' 4/4 time
Tried his bеst but he could never act right
With a honky tonk angel hangin' on, every single line
[Chorus]
He was an Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler
Comin' and goin', low and high
Midnight jivin' hayseed hustler
With a suitcase full of Dust Bowl lullabyes
[Bridge]
He did it with a friend of mine
He did it on the Texas line
Said he wouldn't have it any other way
[Verse 3]
Turqoise rings on his index fingers
Blowin' the doors off with his blacks and whites
Down the backroads of Muskogee
Slippin' it to, some old hayseed's wife
[Chorus]
He was an Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler
He's always leavin', he ain't never gonna stay
Tells the truth but he's a hustler
[Outro]
Livin' that low down
Dust Bowl preachin'
Red Dirt jivin'
3.2 drinkin'
4/4 timin'
Rockin' and a rollin'
Indian gamblin'
Old heart travelin'
Red River way
