It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy
Tell your mama how I feel (tell her)
I've been dreamin', floatin' down stream
And losin' touch with all that's real

Hold up lover, keep it under cover
Never knowin' where you been

You've been fadin', always operatin'
Won't you keep in touch with mama kin?
You always got to play on the wind
Mama caught me walkin' like a red dog
She whacked me from back to a dead
You better check it out 'cause on that Tuesday
Goin' to climb back on a red horse

It ain't easy livin' like a woman
Had to walk about me some miles (yes you did)
The way I see it, you got to say she is
But don't forget to drop me a line
You're born as an egg in a deep
And workin' for your daddy's just a drag
You steal stuff your mama can't beat
You better check it out 'cause on that Tuesday
Goin' to climb back on a red horse

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' teen
Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' teen

It ain't easy livin' like a woman
Had to walk about me some miles (yes you did)
The way I see it, you got to say she is
But don't forget to drop me a line

And workin' for your daddy's just a drag
You steal stuff your mama can't beat
You better check it out 'cause on that Tuesday
Goin' to climb back on a red horse

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' teen
Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' teen
