Treetop Flyer

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

You 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 that this is gonna be my last

I get the ship down, I tie her fast

And then some old boy walks up and he says "Hey son, wanna make some fast cash?"

Treetop flyer

Well there's things I am, and there's things I'm not

I'm a smuggler and I could get shot

Ain't going to die, I ain't goin' to get caught

You see I'm a flyin' fool and my aeroplane is just too hot

I'm a treetop flyer
