Lyrics
AS THE CROW FLIES (by Scott Detweiler)
As the crow flies over me
Over me, over me
As the crow flies over me
As the crow flies over me
No work in Louisiana
So I hitched a ride
All the way to California
I took what I could find
One day I was low
Missin home
And I had no relief
In the golden haze
Of the dyin day
A shadow consoled me
As the crow flies over me
Over me, over me
As the crow flies over me
As the crow flies over me
Found work ranchin for a rancher
I'm seein better days
Sometimes think of Louisiana
And how I got away
Oh when I am low
Missin home
And I have no relief
In the golden haze
Of the dyin day
That shadow consoles me
He rides the breeze
I'm underneath
I rides the wind
I'm under it
He's high flyin to tomorrow
I sigh thinkin by tomorrow
As the crow flies over me
Over me, over me
As the crow flies over me
As the crow flies over me
As the crow flies over me
As the crow flies over me
Over me, over me, over me
