| Floating I’m floating on down through the sky
|
| Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
|
| I’ll be glad when it’s over and ready to land
|
| With this bag full of money I’ve got in my hand
|
| Oh I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank
|
| Cause I never had nothin' or noone to thank
|
| And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
|
| But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank
|
| Floating I’m floating…
|
| And in the 101st they busted your hump
|
| But they taught me a man isn’t always a chump
|
| In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
|
| In the card game of life I was holding a trump
|
| Floating I’m floating…
|
| If you can’t get a job and they think you’re insane
|
| If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
|
| And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
|
| It was then I decided to grab me a plane
|
| Floating I’m floating…
|
| With all of my training it wasn’t too tough
|
| Now I’m through taking orders and all of their guff
|
| Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
|
| Cause a veteran’s pension ain’t nearly enough
|
| Floating I’m floating… |
