Rodney Crowell - The Flyboy & The Kid lyrics
Your rating:
May the wind be at your back And the world sit at your feet May you waltz across Wyoming With a rose clutched in your teeth May the answers to your questions Fall like raindrops right on queue May you set up shop in Heaven 'Fore the Devil knows you're due Ooh, here's to love, here's to life All the fair and tender ladies and the plain dirt farmer's wife Yeah, here's to you, here's to me Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy and the kid from Tennessee May your nights be filled with laughter And your days with honest work May you wake up smelling roses When you're facedown in the dirt If you had the sense to come in When the storm clouds start to grow And you wouldn't be my right hand And the best friend that I know Ooh, here's to life, here's to love When your heart beats like a lion and your shoes fit like a glove Yeah, here's to you, here's to me Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy and the kid from Tennessee May you always stay in touch with the things That keep you young When you're staring at injustice May you never bite your tongue May the bear tracks in your future Find you downwind in a glade Where the grass as green as absinthe Comes in forty different shades Ooh, here's to love, here's to life All the fair and tender ladies and the old fishmonger's wife Yeah, here's to you, here's to me Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy and the kid from Tennessee Yeah, set 'em up, drinks for free It's the mad dog mountain flyboy and the kid from Tennessee
