The Fly Boy & The Kid

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

Fall like raindrops right on cue

May you set up shop in heaven

Before the devil knows you're due

Ohh, 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 and here's to me

Some old mad dog mountain fly boy

And the kid from Tennessee

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

Then you wouldn't be my right hand

And the best friend that I know

Ohh, here's to life and here's to love

When your heart beats like a lion

And your shoes fit like a glove

Yeah, here's to you and here's to me

Some old mad dog mountain fly boy

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

Ohh, here's to love and here's to life

All the fair and tender ladies

And the old fishmonger's wife

Yeah, here's to you and here's to me

Some old mad dog mountain fly boy

And the kid from Tennessee

Yeah, set 'em up, the drinks are free

It's the mad dog mountain fly boy

And the kid from Tennessee
