Floating, |
|
I'm floating on down through the sky |
|
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly |
|
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land |
|
With this bag full of money |
|
I've got in my hand |
|
Oh, I grew up believing in |
|
Jesse and |
|
Frank'Cause |
|
I never had nothin' or none to thank |
|
And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank |
|
But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank |
|
Floating, |
|
I'm floating on down through the sky |
|
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly |
|
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land |
|
With this bag full of money |
|
I've got in my hand |
|
And in the 101st they busted your hump |
|
But they taught me a man isn't always a chump |
|
In the course of |
|
Korea I learned how to jump |
|
In the card game of life |
|
I was holding a trump |
|
Floating, |
|
I'm floating on down through the sky |
|
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly |
|
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land |
|
With this bag full of money |
|
I've got in my hand |
|
If you can't get a job and they think you're insane |
|
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain |
|
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain |
|
It was then |
|
I decided to grab me a plane |
|
Floating, |
|
I'm floating on down through the sky |
|
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly |
|
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land |
|
With this bag full of money |
|
I've got in my hand |
|
With all of my training it wasn't too tough |
|
Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff |
|
Gonna buy a |
|
Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff' |
|
Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough |
|
Floating, |
|
I'm floating on down through the sky |
|
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly |
|
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land |
|
With this bag full of money |
|
I've got in my hand |
