rodney crowell - taking flight lyrics

[verse 1: rodney crowell]
we were somewhere east of hattiesburg
on a lonely stretch of nightmare
gas gauge screaming empty, headlights in a fog
two refugees from greenville in line to wind up roadk!ll
with a parakeet named chester and a one+eyed spotted dog

[verse 2: rodney crowell]
we’d been plowing through each day like so much mississippi red dirt
burning with no purpose save get out while we still can
h+ll bent past the point of no return and going nowhere
with the best of good intentions, one more line drawn in the sand

[chorus: rodney crowell]
taking flight, forget about tomorrow
wrong or right, the chips are gonna fall
taking flight, going nowhere ‘til we get there
next time h+ll starts freezing over, we’ll be sure to give a call

[verse 3: ashley mcbryde]
so we got our education from a backwoods country station
proof that there’s a world out there came wrapped up in a song
riding high on one wing and a foxhole prayer might get you there
but ten won’t get you twenty if you bet your money wrong

[verse 4: rodney crowell, ashley mcbryde]
i never was the smartest, but i didn’t try to hide it
but that don’t mean you get off light for leaving me alone
we were twenty feet from stardom, now you’re staring down post+partum
an unwed mother soon to be that small voice on your phone
[chorus: rodney crowell & ashley mcbryde]
taking flight, forget about tomorrow
wrong or right, the chips are gonna fall
taking flight, going nowhere ‘til we get there
next time h+ll starts freezing over, we’ll be sure to give a call
next time h+ll starts freezing over, do be sure to give a call
be sure to give a call
