Easy Wind

by Bill Callahan

Lyrics
I've been alling that shiny black steel jackhammer

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
Till 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 talking

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 talking

But you never heard a word it says
