Well a gypsy lady once told me,
Son you got the kinda soul that's got to be free
It ain't what you want, just what you need

And like a black bird baby, you were born with wings

Chorus:

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 Tennesee and got a little juiced

But I caught myself a case 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


(Chorus)

Well I live on the run, I love on the prowl

I never was much on hangin' around
I never look back, I never look down
I never thought once about turnin' around


(Chorus)
(Chorus)


Cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-crowww flies
