Lyrics

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 you can pay to run
Bush league pilots that just can't get the job done
You got to fly down into the canyons, you know, 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
I run 15 feet over the Rio Grande
And I'll blow the mesquite right up off the sand
And I'm seldom seen, 'specially when I land
I'm a treetop flyer
Survivor
People been asking me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
It was over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA
The government taught me, and they taught me right
Just keep down under the treeline, you might be alright
You're a treetop flyer
Born survivor
So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
I promised my woman, this is gonna be my last
I get the bird down, and I tie her fast
Then some old boy walks up, and says
"Hey son, wanna' 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, oh no
I ain't going to die, Lord, I ain't goin' to get caught
You see, I'm a flyin' fool in an aeroplane, I'm just too damn hot
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, oh no, no, no
I ain't going to die and I ain't goin' to get caught
You see, I'm a flyin' fool in an aeroplane, I'm just too goddamn hot
I'm a treetop flyer
I'm a treetop flyer
A treetop flyer
I'm a treetop flyer
