GYPSY DOWN
I.
I say you’ll know him when you see him.
His manner will betray him.
He’s the kind of guy who stands out from the crowd.
He’s altogether without passion;
for trend, or for fashion.
He’s quiet, but he likes his music loud.
1st CHORUS:
Nobody knows where he comes from;
and he ain’t gonna tell them!
What they don’t know won’t hurt them, after all!
Some folks will try to get to know you,
just so they can use you;
but he don’t play those kind of games at all.
II.
Although they’ve all tried to teach him,
their lies will never reach him;
for he knows what their slick words REALLY mean.
He’s neither toady, nor fool;
his course cuts straight and true,
between the poles of ideology.
2nd CHORUS:
He’ll never judge you by your party.
He’s a student of the heart;
and it’s your character that matters most of all.
While he is faithful in friendship;
he is fearless in conflict.
He’ll have your back when it’s up against the wall!
III.
He travels through the ages,
a-seeking out the sages;
responding to his Inner Mystic’s call.
He is a partisan of reason;
and non-dual in his vision.
His consciousness is like a crystal ball.
3rd CHORUS:
Well world events don’t hypnotize him.
He’s focused on the cosmos;
so the universe will catch him if he falls.
And though some fear and hate his freedom,
and may try their best to snare him;
they’re never gonna take this gypsy down!

The essence of Jimi mixed with the James Gang. Yes, good call. Really enjoyed all the guitars, Whoever you wrote this about sounds like a helluva guy. Great drum work from Mr. Mackle. Nothing beats real drums. Good rocker. Love the big rock finish.
