Arrows at Airplanes
There's an old man sittin on a riverbank
With a cane pole in his hand
Two teenage boys skippin school
Lookin to kick up a little sand
Hey your line's not even in the water old man
And you ain't got any bait
He just smiles and says that's okay
I'm not fishin anyway
I'm shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Tryin to walk across this clear blue sky
Lovin every minute
One second at a time
Sittin here on top of the world
Watchin the day go by
He said this world's full of people in a hurry boys
Drivin crazy
Out in the fast lane
We're all on different highways
But we all end up
In the same old place
So i think i'll sit here on this riverbank
With my bologna sandwich
In this paper sack
There's no place in this world that i'd rather be
Than lyin right here on my back
Shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Just tryin to walk across this clear blue sky
Lovin every minute
One second at a time
Sittin here on the top of the world
Watchin the day go by
I'm shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Just tryin to walk across this clear blue sky
Lovin every minute
One second at a time
Sittin here on top of the world
Watchin the day go by
I'm shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
(ooh) ooh. hoo
(ooh) ooh. hoo
With a cane pole in his hand
Two teenage boys skippin school
Lookin to kick up a little sand
Hey your line's not even in the water old man
And you ain't got any bait
He just smiles and says that's okay
I'm not fishin anyway
I'm shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Tryin to walk across this clear blue sky
Lovin every minute
One second at a time
Sittin here on top of the world
Watchin the day go by
He said this world's full of people in a hurry boys
Drivin crazy
Out in the fast lane
We're all on different highways
But we all end up
In the same old place
So i think i'll sit here on this riverbank
With my bologna sandwich
In this paper sack
There's no place in this world that i'd rather be
Than lyin right here on my back
Shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Just tryin to walk across this clear blue sky
Lovin every minute
One second at a time
Sittin here on the top of the world
Watchin the day go by
I'm shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Just tryin to walk across this clear blue sky
Lovin every minute
One second at a time
Sittin here on top of the world
Watchin the day go by
I'm shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
Shootin arrows at airplanes
Throwin pillows at freight trains
(ooh) ooh. hoo
(ooh) ooh. hoo
