You should see the world from up there
The rush of the G's
We wear our special clothes
To keep the blood in our knees
Get a little me time at 76, 000 feet
Serve my brothers, not the oil fields
Fight this war for peace, for peace
Until the job is done, until the job is done
Until the job is done, like my fathers before me
Do you have generals to train your brains
In the next life cycle we could all meet again
I write this romance for all the world to see
I post it on the Internet
But I do it just for me, just for me
May I draw you the sun, draw you the sun
May I draw you the sun
In the oldest living language, Chinese
I'm flying down to Texas
For a wedding at a ranch
To sing If I Needed You by Townes Van Zandt
For Mary and Peter, family and friends
To wish them all happiness
And joy that never ends, never ends
When two become one, two become one
Do two become one, like the twisting of the live oak trees
Our flight ends at DFW
And we say goodbye
I ride the trams and wonder
How airplanes fly
Dallas holds us for a moment
Then I ride on to Austin
Where I sit amongst strangers
And say nothing at all
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And old lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne
And surely you'll buy your pint cup and surely I'll buy mine
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne
We two have run about the slopes
And picked the daisies fine
But we've wandered many a weary foot
Since auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
Since auld lang syne
And there's a hand my trusty friend
And give us a hand o' thine
And we'll take a right goodwill draught
For auld lang syne
