Red Tail

THERES A RED TAIL HAWK, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY
25 FT, UP THE STREET, FROM MY RV
THERE’S 3 MORE DAYS OF DRIVING SIDEWAYS (LONG WAY)
on 37 DOLLARS AND A COUPLE AMPHETAMINES..

THE ROAD AINT TREATING ME RIGHT.
YEAH EVERYBODYS TOO UP TIGHT.
BUT THERE AINT NOTHING GONNA STOP ME FROM FEELING THE WAY I FEEL

CAUSE IM FREE. YEAH IM FREE. LIKE A RED TAIL FLYIN.

I GOTTA HOLE IN MY POCKET, ANOTHER COUPLE IN MY BOOTS,
GONE AND RUN MYSELF RAGGED, BUT I STILL GOTTA PAY MY DUES
THERES. TWO MORE SHOWS, TO MAKE SOME BREAD (TO GET AHEAD)
TILL IM BACK DOWN IN GA, SLEEPING IN MY BIG BRASS BED.

THE ROAD AINT TREATING ME RIGHT
YEAH EVERYBODY WANTS TO CUSS AND FIGHT.
BUT THERE AINT NOTHING GONNA STOP ME FROM LIVIN THE WAY I WILL.

CAUSE IM FREE. YEAH IM FREE, LIKE A RED TAIL FLYING .

IM GONNA REST MY SOUL IN THE SWAMP
DOWN IN THE HOLLER.
WHERE THE RIVER FLOW LIKE THAT APPLE PIE MOONSHINE.
AND A QUARTER SACK A REEFER ONLY COST A NICKLE
AND THE WOMEN POUR THE STRONGEST HOMEMADE WINE.

AND IM FREE , YEAH IM FREE LIKE A RED TAIL FLYIN’…
