Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I spend all day sittin' in the shade

Waitin' in my pickup truck

In not too long, a law man drives by

He stops to see what's up

So I had to pull on over and give my eyes a break

"You're a busy man, nothin' to see here"

So I send him on his way

I see his taillights fadin' and I grab my glass of tea

Truth is, my name's Roy Johnson

Coyote is my trade

[Instrumental]

Not five minutes later

A mesquite bush starts shakin' like it was afraid

Fifteen men, women, and children

Jumped in the back of my Chevrolet

Saw them tremblin' in my rearview mirror

Through my Aviator shades

Said, "Me llamo Roy Johnson

And coyote is my trade"

[Chorus]

'Cause you won't hear me comin'

And you won't see my face

I cut that trail a thousand times

All without a trace

It's my line of business

No, it ain't a pretty thing

My name is Roy Johnson

Coyote is my trade

[Verse 2]

I did what my mama told me

I got my four-year degree

Now I'm an expert in logistics

I get product from A to B

No, I don't cut no corners

I've always got a plan

If you're lookin' for my services

Amigo, I'm your man

I'll get you across that Rio

Welcome to the USA

Tip the hat, say the name's Roy Johnson

Coyote is my trade

[Chorus]

No, you won't hear me comin'

And you won't see my face

Well, I cut that trail a thousand times

All without a trace

It's my line of business

No, it ain't no pretty thing

My name is Roy Johnson

Coyote is my trade

Hey, hey

[Instrumental]

Well, I clearly remember

Like it was yesterday

I had that Chevy parked right under

My usual spot of shade

Not five minutes later

A mesquite bush started shakin' like it was afraid

Fifteen federale jumped out

And they all knew my name

[Chorus]

I guess they saw me comin'

They saw my face

And I cut that trail a thousand times

Guess I left a trace

It's my line of business

And I ain't ashamed to say

My name is Roy Johnson

Coyote is my trade

Hey, hey

[Outro]

Now I spend all day sittin' in the shade

Waitin' in my pickup truck
