It's over in Vietnam chasin' N.V.A. The government taught me, and they taught me right Stay down under the tree line And you might be alright Treetop flyer So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast I promised my woman, this is gonna be my last I get the ship down, I tie her fast And then somebody walks up and says ``Hey son, wanna make some fast cash?" Treetop flyer Well there's things I am and there's things I'm not I am a smuggler and I could get shot I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna get caught You see, I'm a flyin' fool in an aeroplane I'm just too hot I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor
