Rodney Crowell - The Flyboy & The Kid Lyrics
May the wind be at your back
And the world sit at your feet
May you waltz across Wyoming
With a rose clutched in your teeth
May the answers to your questions
May you set up shop in Heaven
'Fore the Devil knows you're due
Ooh, here's to love
Here's to life
All the fair and tender ladies
And the plain dirt farmer's wife
Yeah, here's to you
Here's to me
Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy
May your nights be filled with laughter
And your days with honest work
May you wake up smelling roses
When you're facedown in the dirt
If you had the sense to come in
When the storm clouds start to grow
You wouldn't be my right hand
And the best friend that I know
Ooh, here's to life
Here's to love
When your heart beats like a lion
And your shoes fit like a glove
Yeah, here's to you
Here's to me
Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy
And the kid from Tennessee
May you always stay in touch with the things
That keep you young
When you're staring at injustice
May you never bite your tongue
May the bear tracks in your future
Find you downwind in a glade
Where the grass as green as absinthe
Comes in forty different shades
Ooh, here's to love
Here's to life
All the fair and tender ladies
And the old fishmonger's wife
Yeah, here's to you
Here's to me
Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy
And the kid from Tennessee
Yeah, set 'em up, drinks for free
It's the mad dog mountain flyboy
And the kid from Tennessee

Rodney Crowell The Flyboy & The Kid Comments
I just love this song so much.
perfect song!
Crowell is a CLASSIC
It's about Guy Clark. What a wonderful tribute!
Very Dylanish...with nods to several genres...love it@
Perhaps but Rodney can sing.
This is an appropriate title for all those truck drivers chasing cars over the Smokey Mountain's.
thanks to bob dylan for that one rodney
@kris Zimmerman play bob dylan's forever young youll see the connection
well absolutely the connection is evident......but Rodney took the idea and made it his own with some pretty cool lyrics. I really like it, and let's face it, we all get our ideas from others. A tribute to Dylan as I see it............ :)
+Liz Chadwell All music is connection of Collections ...or is it the round the other way ...?
Really? He wrote the lyrics.
