chip dockery - the last fighter pilot lyrics

Loading...

verse 1
he was born in the skies over france back in 1916
a daring young man in a flimsy ole flying machine
ed rickenbacker, the baron, frank luke, and the rest
paving the high road for those who would follow the quest

chorus
in the ‘20s and ‘30s he stood against short+sighted men
who clipped back his wings saying they’ll never need him again

verse 2
then he strapped on a spitfire and climbed through the bright english blue
to the cheers of the many who owed so much to the few
from the whitе cliffs of dover to islands of jungle and sand
a whole world at war, but for him it was man against man

chorus
and whеn it was over, he stood against short+sighted men
who clipped back his wings saying they’ll never need him again

verse 3
then he climbed in a sabre and flew through the korean sky
up to mig alley with courage to fight and to die
in southeast asia, he called down the thunder again
but this one was different, they wouldn’t allow him to win
chorus
and when it was over, he listened to short+sighted men
who said it was his fault, and they’d never need him again

verse 4
the last fighter pilot is just like the first of his kind
and when duty calls, he’s the first to step over the line
a child of the heavens, a grandson and son of the best
still riding the high road and trying to follow the quest

chorus
in the twenty+first century, he stands against short+sighted men
who’ll clip back his wings when they think they don’t need him again
for you self+serving b+st+rds who k!ll with the stroke of a pen
he stands at the ready, for the day that you need him again
