Lyrics for Easy Wind
I been ballin' a shiny black steel jack-hammer Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway I live five years if I take my time Ballin' that jack and 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
