Up and Gone

Headed to the next state
Got no plans, can't be late
Carry-on, extra fee
Not for him, got it free
Now he calls the tower to gather all the information
"Are we cleared for take-off, and hey are we expecting any storms?"

If you never hit the ground ya' can't die
We'll divorce the earth and marry the sky

Yeah, we're up and gone
We're up and gone
We're up and gone
We're up and gone

Flying foxes, well just look around
More likely than you'd think, you might find them hangin' out in the pilot's lounge
From Phoenix down to Reno, find the jet stream and carry me off out of this world
Are those noseprints on the windows? Eatin' up the miles like they're cheesy jalapeños
Fifteen thousand feet can eliminate our consternation
Those traffic jams and big rigs roll on somewhere far below

If you never hit the ground you can't die
We'll divorce the earth and marry the sky

Yeah, we're up and gone
We're up and gone
We're up and gone
We're up and gone

If you never hit the ground you can't die
We'll divorce the earth and marry the sky
If you never go you'll always ask why (every mornin' when he gets up out of bed)
Climb aboard your wings and baby you'll fly (there's no ticket counter, no TSA, just start the engines and fly away, hit me)

Woah you're up and gone
You're up and gone
You're up and gone
You're up and gone, yeah

You're up and gone
You're up and gone
You're up and gone
You're up and gone
