Well a gypsy lady once told me
Son you've 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 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
D C G (let ring)
It's never that far as a crow flies
Well I set it down in Tennessee and got a little juice
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
Repeat Chorus
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 Twice
