Bill Callahan - Easy Wind lyrics

[Verse] I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer Been chipping up rocks for the great highway I'll live five years if I take my time Balling that jack and drinking my wine I been chipping them rocks from dawn till doom While my rider hide my bottle in the other room Doctor say better stop balling that jack If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will [Chorus] Easy wind 'cross the bayou today 'Cause there's a whole lot of women, mama Out in red on the streets today And the river keeps a talking But you never hear a word it says [Verse] 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 [Chorus] Easy wind going 'cross the bayou today There's a whole lot of women, mama Out in red on the street today And the river keeps a talking But you never hear a word it says
