| 14A, window seat, tennis shoes and faded jeans
|
| Nervous as he tells me it’s his first time on a plane.
|
| We took off and headed East, I was thumbing through the magazines
|
| He felt like talking and offered me his name
|
| So I asked him how he was
|
| And he smiled and said, well son
|
| I’ve been better, I’ve been worse
|
| I’ve chased after pretty girls
|
| Seen a couple places that I never thought I’d see
|
| I’ve walked into harder times, and I’ve walked out the other side
|
| It seems like you end up getting what you need
|
| Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life’s been good to me
|
| I’ve been out a month or so, another night, another show
|
| One hundred different cities, they all just seem the same
|
| He asked me what it must be like, singing songs under the lights
|
| Well, it’s got its moments, just the same as anything
|
| I miss my town, I miss my wife
|
| But I’m up here with you tonight
|
| I said I’ve been better, I’ve been worse
|
| I have loved a pretty girl
|
| I’ve seen a couple places that I never thought I’d see
|
| I’ve walked into harder times, I’ve walked out the other side
|
| It seems like you end up getting what you need
|
| Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life’s been good to me
|
| Good to me
|
| Sometimes we can get lost living in the here and now
|
| Sometimes it takes the sky to see what’s on the ground
|
| I’ve been better, I’ve been worse
|
| I’ve chased after pretty girls
|
| I’ve seen a couple places that I never thought I’d see
|
| I’ve walked into harder times, I’ve walked out the other side
|
| It seems like you end up getting what you need
|
| Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life’s been good to me
|
| Good to me |
