Coyote (The Ballad of Roy Johnson) Lyrics by Flatland Cavalry
Humble Folks
2016
[Verse 1] Well, I spend all day sittin' in the shade Waitin' in my pickup truck In not too long, a law man drives by He stops to see what's up So I had to pull on over and give my eyes a break "You're a busy man, nothin' to see here" So I send him on his way I see his taillights fadin' and I grab my glass of tea Truth is, my name's Roy Johnson Coyote is my trade [Verse 2] Not five minutes later A mesquite bush starts shakin' like it was afraid Fifteen men, women, and children Jumped in the back of my Chevrolet Saw them tremblin' in my rearview mirror Through my Aviator shades Said, "Me llamo Roy Johnson And coyote is my trade" [Chorus] 'Cause you won't hear me comin' And you won't see my face I cut that trail a thousand times All without a trace It's my line of business No, it ain't a pretty thing My name is Roy Johnson Coyote is my trade [Verse 2] I did what my mama told me I got my four-year degree Now I'm an expert in logistics I get product from A to B No, I don't cut no corners I've always got a plan If you're lookin' for my services Amigo, I'm your man I'll get you across that Rio Welcome to the USA Tip the hat, say the name's Roy Johnson Coyote is my trade [Chorus] No, you won't hear me comin' And you won't see my face Well, I cut that trail a thousand times All without a trace It's my line of business No, it ain't no pretty thing My name is Roy Johnson Coyote is my trade Hey, hey [Verse 3] Well, I clearly remember Like it was yesterday I had that Chevy parked right under My usual spot of shade Not five minutes later A mesquite bush started shakin' like it was afraid Fifteen federale jumped out And they all knew my name [Chorus] I guess they saw me comin' They saw my face And I cut that trail a thousand times Guess I left a trace It's my line of business And I ain't ashamed to say My name is Roy Johnson Coyote is my trade Hey, hey [Outro] Now I spend all day sittin' in the shade Waitin' in my pickup truck
