Well a gypsy lady once told me
Son you got the kinda soul that's got to be free
It ain't what you want, just what you need
And like a black bird baby, you were born with wings

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

Well I set it down in Tennesee and got a little juiced
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 the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies

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