I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,
Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway,
Live five years if i take my time,
Ballin' that jack and a 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 rivers keep 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 in red on the streets today.
And the rivers keep a talkin',
But you never heard a word it said.
