I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway Live five years if I take my time Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom While my rider hide my bottle in the other room Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will Easy wind cross the Bayou today 'Cause there's a whole lotta women, mama Out in red on the streets today
And the rivers keep a talkin' But you never heard a word it said Gotta find a woman be good to me Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea 'Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will Easy wind going cross the Bayou today There's a whole lotta women Out in red on the streets today And the rivers keep a talkin' But you never heard a word it said
