JETLINER  (Ed Rhoades) (takes a minute for the sound or click here )

She's running once again thru the afternoon,   

Til nighttime paints a darkness on her day.

Alone she walks across the room,

She remembers spring and someone far away

     Don't you just feel like it's passing you by?

     A flaming jetliner in the sky

     Don't you just feel like it's passing you by?

     A flaming jetliner in the sky

     And you're standing in the street

     Wishing you could fly

My god, he said, how the years have passed,

I can't believe just how long it's been

All these battle fields and broken glass

And the highways and the changing roads within

      Don't you just feel like it's passing you by?

      A flaming jetliner in the sky

      Don't you just feel like it's passing you by?

      A flaming jetliner in the sky

      And you're standing in the street

      Wishing you could fly

Your high finance friend took the choke

I know how she hates to lose a single hand

As for me more than once I have been broke

but I still got those dreams and crazy plans.

      Don't you just feel like it's passing you by?

      A flaming jetliner in the sky

      Don't you just feel like it's passing you by?

      A flaming jetliner in the sky

      And you're standing in the street

      Wishing you could fly

      Fly Away, fly,

      fly away
