I been ballin' that shiny black steel jack hammer
Been chipping up rocks for the great highway
I'll live five years if I take my time
Ballin' that jack and drinkin' my wine
Easy wind, blowin' 'cross the bayou today
There's a whole lot of women
Out on the streets in red today
And the river keep a-callin'
But you never hear a word it say
I been chipping them rocks from dawn 'til doom
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room
Doctor say, "Better stop ballin' that jack
If I live five years I'm gonna break my back," yes I will
Easy wind, blowin' 'cross the bayou today
'Cause there's a whole lot of women
Out on the streets in red today
And the river keeps a-callin'
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 cheap
'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, 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 a-callin'
And you never hear a word it say
