We pulled out of Charlotte
The snow is fallin' down
We make our way in a one eagle sleigh
'Til we reach another town
Our name is in lights on the billboard sign
In every town we play
But if you may, all it really need say
Are gypsies, gypsies on parade

We pull in to a diner
Folks just stop and stare
You here 'em say man
It's a rock 'n' roll band
By the look and the clothes they wear
Then you telephone home
'Cause you're feelin' alone
And try to think of somethin' to say
Seems all you get
Are tears of regret
For being gypsies, gypsies on parade

Gypsies on parade
Vagabonds that got it made

Sawyer Brown

Sawyer Brown is an American country music band founded in 1981 in Apopka, Florida, by five members of country pop singer Don King's road band: Bobby Randall (guitar) and Jim Scholten (bass guitar), both from Midland, Michigan; Joe Smyth (drums), Gregg "Hobie" Hubbard (keyboards), and Mark Miller (lead vocals). After King retired in 1981, the five members decided to form a band, first choosing the name Savanna before switching to Sawyer Brown, also the name of a road near where they practiced. more »
