I've been ballin' a shiny black steel jack-hammer
Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway
I'll live five years if I take my time
Ballin' that jack and drinkin' my wine
I've been chippin' them rocks from dawn 'til doom
While my writer hide my bottle in the other room
Doctor say, "Better stop ballin' that jack"
If I live five years, I'm gonna bust my back, yes I will
Easy wind, 'cross the bayou today
'Cause there's a whole lot of women, yeah now, now
In red that way
And the river keep a-talkin'
But you never hear a word it say
Gotta find a woman be good to me
Won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea
'Cause I'm a stone-jack baller and my heart is true
And I give everything that I got to you, yes I will
Easy wind, blowin' 'cross the bayou today
There's a whole lot of women, mama
Out on the streets in red that way
But the river keeps on talkin'
And you never hear a word it say
