He was a Oklahoma gypsy shuffler
rockin' rollin' hayseed hustler
With his honky -tonk wings
Drivin' down the west coast highway
Cuttin' heads on a chippin' circuit
But he, he couldn't kick the
Alligator shoes, Oklahoma gypsy shuffler
Midnight driving Redbird Hustler
Living that low -down old Red River way
And he did it with a Bible
Trying to get away from the
He did it with a guitar late into the night
Trying to live just like the songs that
Snorting cocaine off a bug night
but he could never act right
hangin' on every single line
The Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler
Coming and go ing, low and high
Midnight driving, hayseed hustler
With a suitcase full of dust, boy
He did it with a friend of mine
He did it on a Texas line
Turquoise rings on his index finger
Blowing the doors off with
Down the back roads of Muskogee
Slippin' into some old Hayseas white
He was an Oklahoma gypsy shuffler
he ain't never gonna stay
Tells the truth, but he's a hustler
Red dirt drivin', three, two drinkin'
Four -four timin', rockin' and a -rollin'
Indian gamblin', old heart drivin'
