When his dear mother died
He did not grieve
He didn't bat an eye
When his pretty wife told him to leave
He spent a lifetime
Just letting things go
Like he'd never have to feel
What he would not show
And he headed east
Towards New Orleans
Dreaming in the arms
Of a gypsy queen
She charmed his eyes
And his riddled mind
With illusions of a future
He would never find
She could see
He was a desperate man
So she picked his pocket
As she held his hand
He so easily placed
His misplaced dreams
In the hands
Of a gypsy queen
But as his pockets
Were relieved of there gold
Like a crushing stone
That gypsy rolled
Then one night
That life would end
Popping dollar beer with Vicodin
In a $50 room at the chateau inn
Looking out a window
Over magazine
He saw a sad lost man
Being conned by a gypsy queen
One life over
A new began
He paid $50
And he left the chateau inn
He cried for his mother
And he cried for his wife
And he smiled down the road
At a brand new life
He thought of the horror
And the pleasures seen
Everything has a purpose
He just paid for the service of a gypsy queen
He thought of the horrors
And the pleasures seen
Everything has a reason
Even that gypsy queen
