30,000 Feet

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
 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
 A 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, yeah
 
 Sometimes we can get lost
 Living in the here and now
 Sometimes it takes the sky
 To see what's on the ground
