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 want you need
And like a blackbird baby you were born with wings

(Chorus:)
And as a 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 a crow flies

Well I sat it down in Tennesseee and got a little juiced
But I caught myself a case of them Nashville blues
I met a little girl, tried to tie me down
So I pointed it to Hollywood and put that hammer down

(Chorus:)
And as a 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 a crow flies

Well I live on the run...
I love on the prowl...
I never was much on hangin' around
I never look back
I never look down

I never thought once about turnin' around

(Repeat Chorus)
