Up on the airplane
Nearer my god to thee
I start making a deal
Inspired by gravity
If I did wrong I won\'t do it again
\'cause I can be sweet and good and nice
And if I have enemies they\'re friends
I\'ll hold on to my life
With the grip of a vice
And I\'m up on the airplane
Nearer my god to thee
I start making a deal
Inspired by gravity
That little spot on the ground
Is my home town
Like to call it my home
And it\'s sweet
I\'d rather take a seat down there
Than a throne up here
Up above thirty thousand feet
And I\'m up on the airplane
Nearer my god to thee
I start making a deal
Inspired by gravity
I never should\'ve read my horoscope
Or the fortune on the bubblegum strip
Saying what you think won\'t happen will
Great thing to read before a trip
On an airplane
the big blue sky\'s like a swimming pool
Big fluffy clouds like a feather bed
But I\'d rather have a real pillow
Underneath my head
Lying in my bed
Which is in my hometown
Which is on the ground
Far from an airplane
(my bed, my hometown)
Far from an airplane
(my bed, my hometown, on the ground)
Far from an airplane
(my bed, my hometown, on the ground)
On the airplane
(I\'ll be making a deal)
I\'m up on the airplane
(I\'ll be making a deal)
(on the ground)
Up on the airplane
(I\'ll be making a deal)
I\'ll be making a deal
