I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer, been chippin' up rocks for the great highway, I live five years if I take my time, ballin' that jack and drinkin' my wine.
I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom, while my rider hide my bottle in the other room. Doctor say I better stop ballin' that jack, if I live five years, I gonna bust my back, yes I will.
Easy wind cross the Bayou today cause there's a whole lotta women, mama, out in red on the streets today. And the river keeps a talkin', but you never heard a word it said.
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'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.
Easy wind going cross the Bayou today there's a whole lotta women out on the streets in the red today. And the river keep a talkin', but you never heard a word it said.
