Just aG semi-normal person, thought he had thCe future planned,
Then he Dwon some silly sweepstakes, now he Ghad a hundred grand.
GNever stopped to think of taxes, he was Cgone before they knew,
With a Dflare for old romantics, to the COriDent he Gflew.
When they fueled in Pa-pay-a-tay placed a call to big Mamu
With an honest explanation, just to tell the whole damn truth.
Its his one chance in a million, to deny the simple fact.
was no use to talk it over, he'd be home when he got back.
CNow he's somewhere over china, looking Gdown on all the trails
DOn a mountain looking back at him is a Creal life Dfairy tGale.
CPut a little distance between Gcauses and Deffects
Like a dDay old fortune cookie asking Cwho or wDhat comes Gnext.
What the hell did Marco Polo think when he ran into the wall,
Or those crazy Flying Tigers doing spins and loops and stalls.
Just a taste for something different, perking up a boring day.
Now our man from Louisiana feels exactly the same way.
They're all somewhere over china, Shanghai or old Peking.
On a plane or a boat, in an envelope, real adventure has its ring.
Just to put a little distance between fact and fantasy,
Like an ancient fortune teller knowin who and what will be

How I would love to drive the shuttle just to feel the engine's roar,
And to operate the lever that controls the payload door.
I would buzz the Himalayas, barrel roll above Hong Kong.
Set her down in San Fransisco to the clanging of a gong.
We're all somewhere over China, heading east or heading west.
Taking time to live a little, flying so far from the nest.
Put a little distance between fact and fantasy
Still ten thousand miles away from where I'd really rather be
