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...
