Easy Wind

I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,

been chippin' up rocks for the great highway,

live five years if I take my time,

ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine.

I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom,

while my rider hide my bottle in the other room.

Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack,

if I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will.

Easy wind cross the Bayou today

cause there's a whole lotta women, mama,

out in red on the streets today.

And the river keeps a talkin',

but you never heard a word it said.

Gotta find a woman be good to me,

won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea,

cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true

and I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.

Easy wind going cross the Bayou today

there's a whole lotta women

out on the streets in a red today.

And the river keep a talkin',

but you never heard a word it said.
