Flying High

Country Joe & The Fish

I'm stuck on the LA freeway,

Got rainwater 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.



The one's 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 sez,"We'd like to help you make your trip."

And I went flying high

All the way- all the way.



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 LA airport,

Laid twenty dollars in my hand.

Well, I paid my fair, I'm in the air

Flying back home again.

And I went flying high

All the way, yeah, all the way, allthe way,

You know I went flying high all the way,

Don't you know I went flying high all the way...(fade)
