I could be a rambler from the seven dials
|
I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file
|
I don't do business that don't make me smile
|
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style
|
I'm a treetop flyer
|
|
I'll fly any cargo, that you can pay to run the bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done
|
Got to fly down into the canyon, ya' don't ever see the sun
|
There's no such thing as an easy run
|
For a treetop flyer
|
|
I'm flyin' low, I'm in high demand
|
Go fifteen feet over the Rio Grande
|
I'll blow the mesquite right up off the sand
|
Seldom seen, especially when I land
|
I'm a treetop flyer

People been asking me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
|
It was over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA
|
The government taught me, and they taught me right,
|
Stay down, under the treeline, you might be alright
|
Treetop flyer
|
|
So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
|
I promised my woman this is gonna be my last
|
I get the ship down, I tie her fast
|
then some old boy walks up, and he says "Hey son" wanna' make some fast cash?
|
I'm a treetop flyer
|
|
Well there's things I am, and there's things I'm not
|
I am a smuggler and I could get shot
|
I aint going to die, I ain't goin' to get caught,
|
See I'm a flyin' fool, in an aeroplane that's just too hot
|
I'm a treetop flyer
|
Born survivor
|
|
|
I usually work alone
