Flying High
Country Joe and the Fish
[intro] [verse] I’m stuck on the L.A. freeway got rain water in my boots My thumb’s done froze can’t feel my toes I feel a little destitute Wheels throwing water all over my axe and Mr. Jones won’t lend me a hand Up come two cats in a Cadillac and they say Won’t you hop in man? I went flying high all the way all the way [verse] The one that’s driving s’got a bowler hat the other’s got a fez on his head They turn around and grin and I grin back but not a word was said So I took out my harp and I played ’em a tune I could see they were diggin’ it Then the one with the fez well he turns and he says we’d like to help you make your trip I went flying high all the way all the way [verse] He said We can’t leave him out in the rain he just might freeze and die So why not put him on a plane and send him home in the sky? So they took me to the L.A. airport laid twenty dollars in my hand Well I paid my fare I’m in the air flying back home again And I went flying high all the way [outro] Yes all the way all the way And I went flying high all the way all the way
