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 noone 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...
|
|
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...
|
|
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...
|
|
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...
