Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill 
E                                           A              E 
I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you'd bring me those pills 
          E               A                    E 
And I got high, and I got drunk, for far too long 
        B7                     A 
And the gypsy train to Houston, is gonna take me along

I told them I'd bring 'em their money if they'd get me back to you

And I got cash, and I got robbed for all I own

And the gypsy train to Houston,   is gonna take me back home

No longer was I runnin' from the emblems of law
