Takin' Off Songtext
von Adam Ezra Group

Your daddy told you you would rise above
The rundown shadows of this town you love
But busing tables seems to pay the bills
Your mama′s legacy, your test of will

And you're a ragtop angel, you′re amazing grace
Time to gamble on the life we'll chase

Take a last look out on
Turn the key and we're gone
Who cares if Monday there′ll be hell to pay
We got miles to go and
And I will drive it slow
′Cause we are taking off today
We're taking off

I always knew you′d be the girl for me
You went on 'bout the places that you′d one day see
But months and years can flash like fireflies
'Til all you′re left with is the passing time

And you're a ragtop angel, you're amazing grace
Time to gamble on the life we chase


Take a last look out on
Turn the key and we′re gone
Who cares if Monday there′ll be hell to pay
We got miles to go and
And I will drive it slow
'Cause we are taking off today
We′re taking off

And I've had notions ′bout this skeleton town
One lucky storm could blow the whole place down
And there you're standin′ with your eyes like mine
Dare it all to take us down this time

Take a last look out on
Turn the key and we're gone
Who cares if Monday there'll be hell to pay
We got miles to go and
And I will drive it slow
′Cause we are taking off today
We′re taking off

Na na na, hey yeah
Na na na, hey yeah
Na na na, hey yeah
Hey yeah, hey yeah

Na na na, hey yeah
Na na na, hey yeah
Na na na, hey yeah
Hey yeah, hey yeah


We're takin′ off
