RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - Hometown Gypsy lyrics

rate me

Drivin’ up the coast

To find a version of the truth

Left the backdoor swinging

Like a dirty little sleuth

The truth is I have never

Felt half this alive

Now it’s time to dance

Upon the grave called 45

Jacked up on some Kerouac

And surely bullet proof

The girl who taught me what to do

Was missing her front tooth

Gentle as a storm

Inside your mental health

I wanna find the answer

But I just can’t find myself

I say so long

To the way I played

The way I played

Inside of yesterday

Hey let’s run around

The great escape

From out of my hometown

Later I would look for love

Inside a woman’s dorm

A couch to keep me humble

And her breath to keep me warm

Ophelia was the girl

That I was feeling for

Come to realize

It was me who was the whore

A captain lost himself

Inside a 40 year old skull

The drink of choice was knowledge

And we always wanted more

Drunken sailors

Seeking their Geronimo

Instead they found the things

That they really didn’t wanna know

I say so long

To the way I played

The way I played

Inside of yesterday

Hey let’s run around

The great escape

From out of my hometown

Country roads

Would never let me stay

The way I played

Inside of yesterday

A devil’s growl and cat’s meow

Were blended into one

Termites called suburbanites

Were eating all the fun

A juggernaut of comedy

And blasphemy

I wanna stop the madness

But I think it has to be

I say so long

To the way I played

The way I played

Inside of yesterday

Hey let’s run around

The great escape

From out of my hometown

(Added to final song)

Country roads

Would never let me stay

The way I played

Inside of yesterday

Hey let’s run around

The great escape

From out of my hometown<br />

<br />
