Red Bandana
Gypsy Souls and Red Bandanas: Embracing Freedom on Yellowstone Road
Lyrics
Hangin around under east Texas pines
Hanging around beneath the pine trees in East Texas.
Shootin' at the stars with our colt 45's
Shooting at the stars with Colt 45 pistols.
Puttin on a show and livin' it free
Putting on a carefree show and living without restrictions.
If you hear a rebel yell it's cause the bars we bleed
If you hear a rebel yell, it's because of the struggles we face.
And then we're gone, gone
After the challenges, we move on and disappear.
We got them gypsy souls, they don't wanna go home
We possess free-spirited, nomadic souls that resist settling down.
Big Montana little red bandana
Referring to a significant place (Big Montana) and a memorable item (little red bandana).
Marshall Tucker playin' on our radio
Listening to Marshall Tucker on the radio, capturing a moment in time.
I couldn't stand her so I left Louisana
Left Louisiana because of a disagreement with someone.
North bound to yellowstone road
Heading north towards Yellowstone road.
And it's blue lights and steel nights, don't know which is home
Uncertain about home, facing challenges symbolized by blue lights and steel nights.
But the preacher's gonna tell us you're a rowdy bunch of fellas
The preacher labels the group as rowdy, acknowledging their wild nature.
But you'll worry bout it when you're old
Don't worry about judgment now; worry when you're old.
So I guess we'll worry about when we're old
Reiterating the idea of delaying concerns until old age.
Feeling that cold in your lungs when you're breathin'
Sensations of cold while breathing, perhaps symbolizing challenges.
Light up a smoke for all the different seasons
Lighting a cigarette to mark different seasons of life.
Turn up the music loud, til all the whiskey's down
Turning up music and drinking until the whiskey is finished.
Girls are all dancing as the men stomp the ground
Men and women enjoying life through dance and celebration.
And then we're gone, gone
After the festivities, disappearing again.
We got them gypsy souls yeah, they don't wanna go home
Gypsy souls resistant to settling down.
Big Montana little red bandana
Recalling a significant place (Big Montana) and a memorable item (little red bandana).
Marshall Tucker playin' on our radio yeah
Listening to Marshall Tucker on the radio, reminiscent of a particular time.
I couldn't stand her so I left Louisana
Left Louisiana due to a disagreement with someone.
North bound to yellowstone road
Heading north towards Yellowstone road.
And it's blue lights and steel nights, don't know which way is home
Uncertain about home, facing challenges symbolized by blue lights and steel nights.
But the preacher's gonna tell us you're a rowdy bunch of fellas
The preacher labels the group as rowdy, acknowledging their wild nature.
But you'll worry bout it when you're old yeah
Don't worry about judgment now; worry when you're old.
We got them gypsy souls, and they don't wanna go home
Gypsy souls resistant to settling down.
Big Montana little red bandana Marshall Tucker playin' on our radio
Recalling a significant place (Big Montana) and a memorable item (little red bandana).
I couldn't stand her so I left Louisana
Listening to Marshall Tucker on the radio, reminiscent of a particular time.
North bound to yellowstone road
Left Louisiana due to a disagreement with someone.
And it's blue lights and steel nights, don't know which way is home
Uncertain about home, facing challenges symbolized by blue lights and steel nights.
But the preacher's gonna tell us you're a rowdy bunch of fellas
The preacher labels the group as rowdy, acknowledging their wild nature.

Yeah the preacher's gonna tell us you're a rowdy bunch of fellas
The preacher continues to label the group as rowdy, emphasizing the delayed concern until old age.
But I guess you can worry bout it when you're old
Reiteration that judgment can be worried about in old age.
