I could be a rambler from the seven dials |
|
I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file |
|
I don't do business that don't make me smile |
|
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style |
|
I'm a treetop flyer |
|
I will fly any cargo that you can pay to run |
|
these bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done |
|
Got to fly down into the canyons, you'll never see the sun |
|
There's no such thing as an easy run |
|
For a treetop flyer |
|
I'm flyin' low, I'm in high demand |
|
Go fifteen feet over the Rio Grande |
|
I'll blow the mesquite right up of off the sand |
|
Seldom seen, especially when I land |
|
I'm a treetop flyer |

People been asking me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?" |
|
Was over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA |
|
The government taught me, and they taught me right, |
|
Stay down, under the treeline, you might be alright |
|
Treetop flyer |
|
So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast |
|
I promised my woman this is ain't gonna be my last |
|
I get the ship down, I tie her fast |
|
then some old boy walks up, and he says "Hey son" I'll make some fast cash |
|
I'm a treetop flyer |
|
Well there's things I am, and there's things I'm not |
|
I am a smuggler and I could get shot |
|
Aint going to die, I ain't goin' to get caught, |
|
See I'm a flyin' fool, in an aeroplane, just too hot |
|
I'm a treetop flyer |
