Red Ball Texas Flyer
As heard from the 2005 CD Anthology set The Works: 1970-2000
Lyrics are not completely accurate because of partial
unintelligibility in the vocals.
In those spots, approximations were put in their place.
[E]
Well I'm drivin' to New Orleans on a half a tank of gas
[B]
Got a Jesus on the dashboard got a third wife on my ass
[E] [A]
They don't think I'm gonna make it, but I swear I think I can
[E] [B] [E]
In that Red Ball Texas Flyer I'm a Red Ball Texas Man
[E]
Well I left fifteen this mornin' just about the break of day
[B]
Sixteen minutes and a bowl of chili, I'm bound to find my way
[E] [A]
If I got to actin' gorgeous then they'll know just who I am
[E] [B] [E]
In that Red Ball Texas Flyer I'm a Red Ball Texas Man
Fiddle Solo:
[A] [E] [F#m] [B] (Repeat) [E]
[E]
Well in bunky Louisiana there's a redhead made the stand
[B]
With a pistol full of nickels and a razor in her hand
[E] [A]
She said "I'm gonna cut you boy from appetite to thirst"
[E] [B] [E]
I said "Hold on pretty pinto, better cut the mustard first"
[E]
Well I rode her in the parkin' lot I rode her in the green
[B]
I rode her till the sheriff came and then it got obscene
[E] [A]
Oh we jumped the bail to midnight she said "Honey you like a grand"
[E] [B] [E]
In that Red Ball Texas Flyer I'm a Red Ball Texas Man
Fiddle Solo:
[A] [E] [F#m] [B] (Repeat) [E]
[E]
Oh we got down to New Orleans down beside the Hotel Reef
[B]
Were we found out we were different than we ever thought we'd be
[E] [A]
At the court of the Seven Sisters I was prowlin' the settin' sun
[E] [B] [E]
Opened up the Red Ball Flyer and moved in with everyone
Fiddle Solo:
[A] [E] [F#m] [B] (Repeat 3X)
