Jimmy Buffett - Treetop Flyer lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Treetop Flyer lyrics]
I don't pay taxes, 'cause I, 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 treetop flyer
I'll fly any cargo that you can pay to run
The bush league pilots
They just can't get the job done
You've got to fly down the canyon
Don't never see the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run
I'm a treetop flyer treetop flyer
I fly low, I'm in high demand
Go fifteen feet over the Rio Grande
I blow the mesquite right up off the sand
I'm seldom seen, 'specially when I land
I'm a treetop flyer born survivor
Now people been askin' me
"Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
Was over in Vietnam, chasin' the NVA
The government taught me and
They taught me right
Stay down below the tree line
And you'll be alright
I'm a treetop flyer born survivor
So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
Promised my woman this is gonna be my last
I get the ship down, I tie her fast
And then some old boy wakes up
And he says, "Hey son
Wanna make some fast cash? "
I'm a treetop flyer
Well, there's things I am and
There's things I am not
Yes, I'm a smuggler and I could get shot
I ain't gonna die
I ain't going to get caught
You see I'm a flying fool
And this aeroplane is hot
I'm a treetop flyer born survivor
Workin' alone
