|
'Cross the Bering strait |
|
to a foreign land |
|
I took to the sky just like I planned |
|
Left my old life behind |
|
there in the ice and snow |
|
followed a rainbow to Mexico |
|
Somewhere this side of lucky just shy of goin' down |
|
there's a pilot with her wings on fire |
|
and she doesn't even notice, |
|
she got magic on her mind |
|
'cause she's flyin' solo for the first time |
|
Chorus: |
|
Flying solo |
|
like an angel in the night |
|
flyin' solo |
|
across the great devide |
|
I've been down so low, now I'm up so high |
|
there ain't nothin' short of dying |
|
is gonna make me change my mind |
|
flyin' solo, flyin' solo |
|
Like a fallin' leaf |
|
I fell down from your tree |
|
chalk one up to prosperity |
|
in search of warmer waters |
|
I'm like a bird gone south |
|
don't know just what I'll find |
|
but I'm finding out |
|
Now here I'm dancin' with the moon |
|
spinning out of control |
|
never be the same again |
|
'cause there's a place under the horizon |
|
where it hardly ever rains |
|
the sun is always shining |
|
freedom is it's name |
|
- Chorus - |
|
Around the world that's where I'll be |
|
Amelia Earheart's got nothin' on me |
|
- Chorus - |
