treetop flyer...
I could be a rambler from the Seven Dials
I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file
I don't do bid'ness that don't make me smile
I love my helicopter cause she's got style
I'm a treetop flyer
Treetop flyer
I fly any cargo that you can pay to run
The bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done
You've got to fly down the canyon, keep your back to the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run
I'm a treetop flyer
Treetop flyer
I fly low, I'm in high demand
Go 15 feet over the Rio Grande
I blow the mesquite right up off the sand
I'm seldon seen, 'specially when I land
I'm a treetop flyer

Now people been askin' me where'd you learn to fly that way
Was over in Vietnam, chasin' the NVA
The government taught me, and they taught me right
Stay down below the treeline and you'll be alright
I'm a treetop flyer
Born survivor
So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
Promised my woman this is gonna be my last
I get the ship down, I tie her fast
And then some old boy wakes up, and he says
"Hey son, wanna make some fast cash?"
I'm a treetop flyer
Well there's things I am
And there's things I am not
Yes I'm a smuggler and I could get shot
I ain't gonna die, I ain't going to get caught
You see I'm a flying fool, and this helicopter is, woo, hot
I'm a treetop flyer
Born survivor

That's a cool rhyme. I am a commercial-instrument rated helo pilot, but haven't flown in a long time. I love flying 100 kts right over the trees...rush.

tbone,,,can't take credit for the rhyme, it belongs to jimmy buffet...the song is on stephen stills album "stills alone"...hope you and yours are well...
Andy, thanks so much for sending me this song...when you put the music to the words it is just awesome and soulful.
You keep practicing that guitar ;) and then you can play this song for me.
XOXOX,
