Well, a Gypsy lady once told me   'Son you got the kind of soul that's got to be free   It ain't what you want, it's just what you need   And like a black bird, baby, you were born with the 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 Tennessee and got a little juice   But I caught myself a chase 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 wasn't much on hanging around   I never look back, I never look down   I never thought once about turning 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      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      C-c-crow flies
