I could be a rambler from the seven dials
|
I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file
|
I don't do bid'ness that don't make me smile
|
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style
|
|
I'm a treetop flyer

I fly any cargo that you can pay to run
|
The bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done
|
You've got to fly down the canyon, don't never see the sun
|
There's no such thing as an easy run
|
|

|
I fly low, I'm in high demand
|
Go 15 feet over the rio grande
|
I blow the mesquite right up off the sand
|
I'm seldon seen, 'specially when I land
|
|

|
Now people been askin' me where'd you learn to fly that way
|
Was over in vietnam, chasin' the nva
|
The government taught me, and they taught me right
|
Stay down below the treeline and you'll be alright
|

|
So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
|
Promised my woman this is gonna be my last
|
I get the ship down, I tie her fast
|
And then some old boy wakes 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 am not
|
Yes I'm a smuggler and I could get shot
|
I ain't gonna die, I ain't going to get caught
|
You see I'm a flying fool, and this aeroplane is, whoo, hot
|
|
I'm a treetop flyer
|
Born survivor
|
Workin' alone
