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 want you need
And like a blackbird baby you were born with wings
Chorus:
And as a 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 a crow flies
Well I sat it down in Tennesseee and got a little juiced
But I caught myself a case of them Nashville blues
I met a little girl, tried to tie me down
So I pointed it to Hollywood and put that hammer down
Chorus:
And as a 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 a crow flies
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
Repeat Chorus
Son you got the kind of soul that's got to be free
It ain't what you want, it's just want you need
And like a blackbird baby you were born with wings

And as a crow flies, so do I

Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as a crow flies
Well I sat it down in Tennesseee and got a little juiced
But I caught myself a case of them Nashville blues
