The sun is goin' down late here There's a beautiful woman on my mind Maybe I found me a ready made alibi To live my life from a poetry in rhyme If the rain should cease to fall tomorrow Then the sun would surely shine in vain And maybe it's telling me that every little thing belongs And it's been that way since this old world began Oh Lord this boy is flyin' high On a handsome pair of wings like an eagle in the sky
Maybe I'll find a home somewhere in the bye and bye But there's five hundred miles behind me more to roam Makin' it an all day ride back home There's a lesson I've learned from believing That the world around you can't stay the same So I live my life by the words of my chosen song And hope sooner or later that the world will be singin' along Oh Lord this boy is flyin' high...
