Well, a gypsy lady once told me
Son, you got the kind of soul that's gotta be free
It ain't what you want, it's just what you need
Like a black bird baby, you were born with wings.

And as a crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never to hard to find
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.

And as a crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never to hard to find
It's never that far as a crow flies.

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.

And as a crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never to hard to find
It's never that far as a crow flies.

And as a crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never to hard to find
It's never that far as a crow flies...
