Well, I spend all day sittin' in the shade
Waitin' in my pickup truck
Not too long a lawman drives by
And stops to see what's up
'I had to pull on over, give my eyes a break'
'You're a busy man, nothing to see here'
So I send him on his way
I see his tail lights fading
And I grab my glass of tea
Truth is my name's Roy Johnson
Coyote is my trade
Not five minutes later
A mesquite bush started 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
Tip the hat, say I'm ol' Roy Johnson
And Coyote is my trade
'Cause you won't hear me coming
And you won't see my face
I cut that trail a thousand times
All without a trace
Its my line of business
No, it ain't a pretty thing
My name is Roy Johnson
Coyote is my trade
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 'cross that Rio
Welcome to the USA
Tip the hat, say the name's Roy Johnson
Coyote is my trade
No you won't hear me coming
And you won't see my face
I cut that trail a thousand times
All without a trace
Its my line of business
No, it ain't no pretty thing
My name is Roy Johnson
Coyote is my trade
Now I clearly remember
Like it was yesterday
I had the Chevy parked right under my usual spot of shade
Not five minutes later
A mesquite bush started shakin' like it was afraid
Fifteen Federalies jumped out
They all knew my name
I guess they saw me coming
They saw my face
I cut that trail a thousand times
Guess I left a trace
Its my line of business
And I ain't ashamed to say
My name is Roy Johnson
Coyote is my trade
Hey, hey
Now I spedna ll day
Sittin' in the shade
Waitin' in my pickup truck
