Red Tail

There's a Red-Tail hawk on the other side of the highway

25 feet up the street from my RV

There's three more days of driving sideways

On 37 dollars and a couple amphetamines

The road ain't treating me right

Everybody been too uptight

There ain't nothing gonna stop me feeling like I feel

'Cause I'm free

Yes I'm free

Like a Red-Tail flyin'

Just like a Red-Tail flyin'

There's a hole in my pocket and another couple in my shoes

Gone and run myself ragged but I still gotta pay my dues

There's two more shows to get ahead

'Fore I'm back down in Georgia sleeping in my big brass bed

The road ain't treating me right

Everybody out here wanna cuss and fight

There ain't nothing gonna stop me feelin' like I feel

'Cause I'm free

Yes I'm free

Like a Red-Tail flyin'

Just like a Red-Tail flyin'

Go on, fly free

Gonna rest my soul in the swamp down in the holler

Where the river flows like that apple pie moonshine

And a quarter sack of reefer only cost a nickle

And the women pour the strongest homemade wine

Where I'm free

Yes I'm free

Like a Red-Tail flyin'

Just like a Red-Tail flyin'

Gonna fly free, baby

Just like a Red-Tail flyin'

Way up in the sky
