I'm a bootleg flyer, and I work alone.
I'm a radar hider, turn your head and I'm gone.

Gonna set her down easy on a dirt road. I'm gonna land her on sand. Moonshine on the Redwood Forest with money across my hand.

I'm a bootleg flyer, oh oh oh.

I'm a bootleg flyer, cargo in the back.
I'm a tree-top glider, I never leave the track.

Thrown over napalm, I've flown under fire and I go rain or sun.
In a world where no one knows me, I'm a motherless son.

I'm a bootleg flyer, oh oh.

I'm a bootleg flyer, and I work alone.
I got wings for hire, drop my load and I'm gone.

I'm a bootleg flyer and I work alone.
I'm a tree-top glider. Drop my load and I'm gone.

Mudcrotch?  What kind of name is that?  Oh, wait...its Mudcrutch.  Think I like Mudcrotch better.

 
There are about a dozen comments that I could make about the name Mudcrotch...  but instead I'm going to scrub my frontal lobes.

Mudcrotch dropped his load. Now he's gone.

It's like the Heartbreakers covering the Steve Miller Band covering an Allman Brothers song.

That's the beauty of the instant-classic.

You know, in the conventional world outside of RP people complain because the radio stations play the SAME SONG over and over all day. Sometimes every hour or two. But here in RP land you guys have become so sensitized to the concept of overplaying that you start complaining if Bill even plays different songs by the same artist a few times a day. Give it a rest folks. Your sense of scale is all out of whack.

 
^ Gotta agree.

Gotta agree, although this is an interesting interpretation.............

I think this song is decent.
The album as a whole is pretty good.
If you like Petty, it's hard not to find some enjoyment from this record.
Not fantastic... but makes for enjoyable listening.

yes, Stills' Treetop Flyer is a much better tune.

A song about bootlegging. We used to have rum-runners in Nova Scotia during prohibition.

Stephen's was TREETOP Flyer.
And a much better tune.

But Wait!  There's More!

How many times do we hear from Excelsior and a small coven of soon to be Erased by the Great Revolution?

Drop my load and them I'm gone, he says.

I respect these guys, but there was a little a little to much heartbreaker by zep in there for me.

I dunno, but I definitely hear a bit of Criminal Kind from Hard Promises. (Night Watchman in some of the lyrics, too).

  There's no doubt it is an homage to that tune.

I like Tom Petty's latest (earliest?) incarnation...

I just commented on how consistently good Josh Rouse is--and on comes the Mayor of Consistently Good: Tom Petty. Bill, subliminal pattern?
