I been ballin' 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 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 a red today

And the river keep a talkin'

But you never heard a word it said
