Rodney Crowell - The Flyboy & The Kid lyrics

May your nights be filled with laughter And your days with honest work May you wake up smelling roses When you're facedown in the dirt If you had the sense to come in When the storm clouds start to grow You wouldn't be my right hand And the best friend that I know Ooh, here's to life Here's to love When your heart beats like a lion And your shoes fit like a glove Yeah, here's to you Here's to me Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy And the kid from Tennessee May you always stay in touch with the things That keep you young When you're staring at injustice May you never bite your tongue May the bear tracks in your future Find you downwind in a glade Where the gra** as green as absinthe Comes in forty different shades Ooh, here's to love Here's to life All the fair and tender ladies And the old fishmonger's wife Yeah, here's to you Here's to me Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy And the kid from Tennessee Yeah, set 'em up, drinks for free It's the mad dog mountain flyboy And the kid from Tennessee
