The Fly Boy & The Kid

May the wind be at your back and the world sit at your feet?

May you waltz across Wyoming with a rose clutched in your teeth?

May the answers to your questions fall like raindrops right on cue?

And may you set up shop in Heaven before the Devil knows you're due?

Oh, here's to love, here's to life

All the fair and tender ladies and the plain dirt farmer's wife

Yeah, here's to you, here's to me

Some ol' mad dog mountain fly boy and the kid from Tennessee

May your nights be filled with laughter and your days with honest work?

May you wake up smelling roses when you're face down in the dirt?

If you had the sense to come in when the storm clouds start to grow

Then you wouldn't be my right hand and the best friend that I know

Oh, here's the to life and here's to love

When your heart beats like a lion and your shoes fit like a glove

Yeah, here's to you and here's to me

Some ol' mad dog mountain fly boy 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 grass as green as absinthe comes in forty different shades

Oh, here's to love and 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 fly boy and the kid from Tennessee

Yeah, set 'em up, the drinks are free

It's the mad dog mountain fly boy and the kid from Tennessee
