Flying High - Country Joe McDonald, The Bevis Frond

I’m stuck on the L.A. freeway

Got rain water in my boots

My thumbs done froze, can’t feel my toes

I feel a little destitute

And Mr. Jones won’t lend me a hand

Up come two cats in a Cadillac

And they say: 'Won't you hop in, man?'

I went flying high all the way, all the way.

The one that’s driving’s got a bowler hat

The other’s got a fez on his head

They turn around and grin and I grin back

But not a word was said

So I took out my harp and I played 'em a tune

I could see they were diggin' it

Then the one with the fez, well he turns and he says

'We'd like to help you make your trip.'

I went flying high all the way, all the way.

He said: 'We can’t leave him out in the rain'

'He just might freeze and die'

'So why not put him on a plane'

'And send him home in the sky?'

So they took me to the L.A. airport

Laid twenty dollars in my hand

Well, I paid my fare, I’m in the air

Flying back home again

And I went flying high

All the way, yeah all the way, all the way

You know I went flying high all the way

Don’t you know I went flying high all the…
