Easy Wind Songtext

von Bill Callahan

I've been alling that shiny black steel jackhammer
I've been breaking up rocks for the Great Highway
I'll live five years if I take my time, balling that jack and drinking my wine.
I've been chipping up rocks from dawn til doom while my rider hides my bottle in the other room.
Doctor says you better stop baling that jack if you live five years I'm going to bust my back.
Yes I will.
Easy wind.
Across the bayou today.
Cause there's a whole lot of women, mama, out in red on the street today.
And that river keeps a talkin' but you never hear a word it says...
Gotta find a woman be good to me
Wont 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. Cross the bayou today.
There's a whole lot of women, mama, out in red on the street today.
And that river keeps a talkin, but you never heard a word it says.
