lyrics
Some say only birds can fly
Watch the clouds as they float by
I got my goggles and a leather hat
Tell me what you think of that
Pulling at the wind and flying way too high
One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky
Sad old Daedalus and his son
Could not do what I have done
Watch me dive watch me stroll
Watch me turn a barrel roll
Duck your heads 'cause here I come
Storming through the old blue gum
Clip my wheels on the trees
I'm as pretty as you please
Pulling at the wind and circling endlessly
One hundred horses hitched to a memory
Some say i'm the seventh son
I've got hermes on the run
I'm an eagle in the sky
Kiss the earth and say goodbye
Pulling at the wind and flying way too high
One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky
I'm a bird now watch me fly
On my wings beyond the sky
Now the gods know it's my place
The wonder of the human race
Pulling at the wind and flying way too high
One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky
Pulling at the wind and circling endlessly
One hundred horses hitched to a memory
We pay our respects to flying ace Samuel Edwin Earhart
who was killed today when his Sopwith triplane crashed
into the blue gum trees north of Atchison, Kansas. He is
survived by his wife Amy and his daughter Amelia.
Watch the clouds as they float by
I got my goggles and a leather hat
Tell me what you think of that
Pulling at the wind and flying way too high
One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky
Sad old Daedalus and his son
Could not do what I have done
Watch me dive watch me stroll
Watch me turn a barrel roll
Duck your heads 'cause here I come
Storming through the old blue gum
Clip my wheels on the trees
I'm as pretty as you please
Pulling at the wind and circling endlessly
One hundred horses hitched to a memory
Some say i'm the seventh son
I've got hermes on the run
I'm an eagle in the sky
Kiss the earth and say goodbye
Pulling at the wind and flying way too high
One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky
I'm a bird now watch me fly
On my wings beyond the sky
Now the gods know it's my place
The wonder of the human race
Pulling at the wind and flying way too high
One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky
Pulling at the wind and circling endlessly
One hundred horses hitched to a memory
We pay our respects to flying ace Samuel Edwin Earhart
who was killed today when his Sopwith triplane crashed
into the blue gum trees north of Atchison, Kansas. He is
