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 flies Well, 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 down 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 flies Well, 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 around 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 flies 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 flies C-c-crow flies
