Well, a Gypsy lady once told me
'Son you got the kind of soul that's got to be free
It ain't what you want, it's just what you need
And like a black bird, baby, you were born with the wings'And as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow fliesWell, I set it down in Tennessee and got a little juice
But I caught myself a chase of them Nashville blues
I met a little girl that tried to tie me down
So I pointed it to Hollywood and put the hammer downAnd as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow fliesWell, I live on the run, I love on the prowl
I never wasn't much on hanging around
I never look back, I never look down
I never thought once about turning aroundAnd as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow fliesAs the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow fliesC-c-crow flies
