The engines spit out fire, I´m pushed back in my chair The pressure gives me thrills as we climb in the air And I love to watch the clouds and the mountains and the sky
Swish around a cocktail the stewardess brings by
Lord, this is the life for me Lord, oh Lord, this is the life for me But I don´t wanna die in an air disaster I don´t wanna die on a plane
Well, I fishtail through the lanes, and I make my tires squeal Power at my feet and glory at the wheel And I wind the windows down, let the wind blow through my hair God knows where I´m going, but me, I don´t care
Lord, this is the life for me Lord, oh Lord, this is the life for me But I don´t wanna die in a freeway pile-up I don´t wanna die on the road
Well, I´m young and I´m pretty, and I wanna stay that way Wanna be desirable ´til my dying day I don´t wanna be bedridden, an old and bitter sage Have the nurses saying I´m young for my age ("He´s young for his age.")
Oh Lord, don´t let me go that way Lord, oh Lord, don´t let me go that way No, don´t make me go like a fading chorus Don´t make me fade like a song
Lord, have mercy on your son Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me ´cause I don´t wanna die in an air disaster And I don´t wanna die in a freeway pile-up
And I don´t wanna go like a fading chorus And I don´t wanna die for no good reason
