We were leaving L.A. airport
Me and Midland's misery
On an early morning plane flight out
To some radio XYZ
Was a 1950's prob job
That had seen much better days
When we came on into the last appoach
Saw the runway through a haze
Chorus
And the wheels ain't coming down
All in mind our lives passed before my eyes
And the wheels ain't coming down
And you realize you wanna stay alive
You wanna stay alive
Women weeping, children playing
As we roared into a climb
Men was praying, we was drinking lots
And it never cost a dime
Altered course for San Francisco
Standing by on a red alert
Gonna chance a landing on the sea
Hoping nobody gets hurt
Chorus
And the wheels ain't coming down
All in mind our lives passed before my eyes
And the wheels ain't coming down
And you realize you wanna stay alive
You wanna stay alive
Wanna stay alive
Stay alive
We aborted joked the captain
When our feet had touched the ground
And I won't forget the moment he said
"It's OK folks the wheels are coming down"
Chorus
And the wheels they're coming down
Did you realize it's good to be alive
And the wheels they're coming down
Did you realize you're gonna just survive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
They're coming down
They're coming on down
They're coming on down
They're coming on down
