Lyrics for Plane Don’t Let Me Down on CD = Balancing the Weight of Life

Plane Don’t Let Me Down on CD = Balancing the Weight of Life

I’ve been flying for years, but I don’t like it
When I board the plane, I always sit right by the wing
When the stewardess comes along with the drinks, I buy ’em
Get a little buzz, and then I begin to sing

Plane don’t let me down, jets keep making that sound
Every mile means I’ve lived a little longer
I’ve been flying high too long, it’s time to put my big feet back on the ground
Listen to me, plane, don’t let me down

I’ve seen the facts and studied all those statistics
They say it’s safer to fly than to walk across the street
But my stomach can’t read and my body says it ain’t natural
To relax in a chair at thirty-nine thousand feet

Yes, I’ve been flying for years, and I think it’s marvelous. I haven’ crashed, yet
But the very thought ices up my brain
And one of these days I’ll call up my agent and say
Next time I go to Chicago, I’ll take the train
