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...
