Lyrics:

I been ballin' a shiny, black, steel jack-hammer
Been chipping up rocks for the great highway
I'll live five years if I take my time
Ballin' that jack and a drinking my wine

I been chipping 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 gonna bust my back, a-yes I will

Easy wind cross the bayou today
'Cause there's a whole lotta women, mama, out in the red, on the streets today
And the river keeps a-talking
But you never hear a word it say

Go on now

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 blowing cross the bayou today
There's a whole lotta women, out on the streets, in the red today
And the river keeps a-talking
But you never heard a word it say
