Lyrics

Flying

[Verse 1]

I'm flyin' across the ocean and I'm soaring

Back home to the place I was born and probably raised

And I'm flyin' across the mountains and valleys

Back home to the one that I love so happily

Oh

[Verse 2]

Can you blame me for feelin' homesick?

'Cause I've been away such a very long, long time

I served awhile in the county jail, five years for

For bein' hungry, tired, and poor, I got worried so

[Bridge]

On and on, this I will follow with your buttons and bows

On (On and on) and on (Hoo-hoo-hoo), this I will follow (You know I will follow) with your buttons and bows (With your buttons and your bows)

On (On and on) and on (And on and on and on), this I will follow (You know I will follow) with your buttons and bows (With your buttons and your bows)

On (On and on) and on, this I will follow (You know I will follow) with your buttons and bows (With your buttons and your bows)

Ohhh

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Said, I'm flyin' across the ocean, goin' home, hoo-hoo-hoo
