Lyrics

High Flyer

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Here we go another twenty four hours

Every one of them away from you

I'm laughing when I ought to be crying

Baby tell me are you crying too

You see a room in a five-star hotel

It never really meant much to me

Who needs a bottle of '57

When the water back home is free?

I'm just a flyer, I getting higher

Yeah I'm getting higher, a high flyer

I've got no time on the highway

And too much time on the road

I've got no time on the highway

(on the highway)

Here we go another twenty four hours

Making money for the GPO

When we oughtta be taking it easy

We're getting ready for another show

And every day when you're all a-sleeping

And in the night you see the sun

I'm just a face in a crowd of people

Who wanna to tell me I'm the only one

I'm just a flyer, I getting higher

Yeah I'm getting higher, a high flyer

I've got no time on the highway

And too much time on the road

I've got no time on the highway

But do I, do I, do I need to

I'm getting down when I've gotta get back to you

But do I, do I, do I want to

I'm getting down when I've gotta get back to you

I'm just a flyer, I getting higher

Yeah I'm getting higher, a high flyer

I've got no time on the highway

And too much time on the road

I've got no time on the highway

I never got no time on the highway

And too much time on the road

I've got no time on the highway

(on the highway, on the highway on the highway)
