Lyrics submited by: C Wells


Never Got Off the Ground

My father was a farmer
But his head was in the sky
He worked every day but Sunday


He prayed for rain and thunder
And listened for the sound
In the dry years he went under
He never got off the ground

We all dream when we
That we will do great things
Me, I used to have a hunger
To wear a pilot

But the circles that I ran in
Turned my head around
And the planes I had my plans in
Never got off the ground

Don
You hear so many say
The higher they get,
The closer they are to flyin
Fly away

Don
You hear so many say
The higher they get,
The closer they are to flyin

They say there but for fortune
Is the way it would have been
If we could take a bigger portion
We could fill our hands again

You see them on the sidewalk
In the parks all over town
Those who
Never got off the ground
