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