Country boy in the sky (turn it up now)
Come experience the story of a quirky cowboy
(He's not like other girls) yeah yeah wait, what?
If I tell you my passion I do in my spare time
You promise not to judge?
Cause it's kooky, crazy, maybe even quite outlandish
I... I... I... I want to be a pilot (WOO!)
My smile beams when I see my rough old blue jeans
I chug my beer, shoot a deer, make it clear for a space that I near
I'm misunderstood. My truck has a hood but I would
Fly the skies with my mood alright as I'm understood
Got my boots and my four wheel ride
Got my drink in the hot sunshine
Got my hat and my chicken fry
I'm a country boy in the sky
Got regrets with the kids and wife
Full of life cause I'm ten miles high
Full of fear cause the end is nigh
I'm a country boy in the sky
You know, I always knew that something was wrong
I mean, I never had the urge to write a song about a truck
Or even ride a horse
I like public transit
It's just that my wife took the kids and left me that night
While I was on a flight
Yeah yeah
That morning I felt the clouds scrape past my jeans
Far from my lawn. I long to be free!
Let's rev up the engine
Let's rev up the engine
Let's rev up the engine
Let's hit those skies!
Got my boots and my four wheel ride
Got my drink in the hot sunshine
Got my hat and my chicken fry
I'm a country boy in the sky
Got regrets with my kids and wife
Full of life cause I'm ten miles high
Full of fear cause the end is nigh
I'm a country boy in the sky
I'm in the sky
As I glide my plane through the sky
The sun starts to shine
I put on my shades and spin the blades
Never feeling so alive
It is clear what I near
Oh lord the fear
On this final, fateful flight
I think of my wife and I think of my daughter
Lost my life as a husband and as a father
I loved them, they left me, now leave it, why bother?
I need my rudder and cockpit and I need nothing other
They'll miss me after what I do next
They'll cry in their sleep and they'll pay their respects
They'll wish they stopped me before it's too late
But I'm too high up and I won't hesitate
The finale is finally, finally here
Look in my god's eyes and I feel no fear
Push the yoke, I'm going down
The nose of my plane pitched straight to the ground
Soon you'll see me light up as I fly
A burning comet, country boy in the sky
Yeah
Got my boots and my four wheel ride
Got my drink in the hot sunshine
Got my hat and my chicken fry
I'm a country boy in the sky
Got regrets with my kids and wife
Full of life cause I'm ten miles high
Full of fear cause the end is nigh
I'm a country boy in the sky
Got my boots and my four wheel ride
Got my drink in the hot sunshine
Got my hat and my chicken fry
I'm a country boy in the sky
Got regrets with my kids and wife
Full of life cause I'm ten miles high
Full of fear cause the end is nigh
I'm a country boy in the sky high
I'm a country boy in the
