Album: "Roger McGuinn" - 1973

Floating I'm floating on down through the sky
I never had no ambition to learn how to fly
Be glad when it's over and happy 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 no one to thank
And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
But was saved by my draft board who made me a yank

In the hundred and first 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 on down through the sky
I never had no ambition to learn how to fly
Be glad when it's over and happy to land
With this five hundred thousand I've got in my hand

(Instrumental break - Pedal Steel Guitar)

Oh, 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 one mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane

With all of my training it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and takin' their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
'cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough

Floating I'm floating on down through the sky
I never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and happy to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
With this five hundred thousand I've got in my hand

(Ending - Pedal Steel Guitar)
