[Verse 1]
Crossroads seem to come and go, yeah
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many and loving none
Bearing sorrows, having fun
Back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa

[Verse 2]
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same
And no one knows the gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely cries, no
Are no blankets where he lies
The deepest dreams, the gypsy flies
With sweet Melissa, yeah

[Bridge]
Again the morning's come
Again he's on the run
Sunbeams shining through his hair
Appearing not to have a carе, no
Well, pick up your gear and, gypsy, roll on

[Verse 3]
Crossroads, will you evеr let him go? Yeah
Will you hide the dead man's ghost?
Will he lie beneath the clay?
Or will his spirit fly away?
'Cause I know that he won't stay without Melissa
[Outro]
But I know that he won't stay without Melissa
