Dickey Betts & Great Southern

Forrest Richard Betts (born December 12, 1943) is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, and composer best known as a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band. Early in his career, he collaborated with Duane Allman, introducing melodic twin guitar harmony and counterpoint which "rewrote the rules for how two rock guitarists can work together, completely scrapping the traditional rhythm/lead roles to stand toe to toe". Following Allman's death in 1971, Betts assumed sole lead guitar duties during the peak of the group's commercial success in the mid-1970s.

Run, gypsy, run,
Roll on down the highway,
Run, gypsy, run,
Go on, you've got to fly away,
Run, gypsy, run,
Ain't know way of knowing,
Run, gypsy, run your worries away.

Oh, highway countryside,
A feeling that can't be denied,
You've never been down there before.

Some place you may have seen,
Call it a dream,
Makes you want to wander that much more.

Run, gypsy, run,
Roll on down the highway,
Run, gypsy, run,
Go on, you've got to fly away,
Run, gypsy, run,
Ain't know way of knowing,
Run, gypsy, run your worries away.

Worries that you meet 
Out there on the street
Are different, but somehow 
They're all the same.

The one who holds you tight
Is different every night,
But in the heat of love, Lord,
You can't recall her name.

Run, gypsy, run,
Roll on down the highway,
Run, gypsy, run,
Go on, you've got to fly away,
Run, gypsy, run,
Ain't know way of knowing,
Run, gypsy, run your worries away.
