Story Behind The Song

Sitting in traffic in the big ol' city, just started singing it to myself.

Song Description

Sitting in traffic daydreaming of what it would be like to be with the one I love in some beautiful place on this earth....it could happen!

Lyrics

I Just Want to Fly
words and music by Noel Eskew



Sitting dead stop in the freeway traffic ain?t my idea of having fun
Seems like I spend my whole life in this car, always on the run
If I had a few hundred dollars, in a couple of hours we could be
in Paradise, you and me

Can you see us? We?re on a snow white beach, faces turned toward the breeze
Ocean shines like a gemstone, light filters through the palm trees
I never knew when I felt so happy or when I breathed so free
Oh, Baby, let?s fly away, you and me

I just want to fly away and you?re going, too
This big old city is tearing me up and I know that it?s breaking you
You call this making a living; I call it making do
Oh, Baby, let?s fly away, me and you


Well it may seem like a pipe dream to you
But I swear, Darlin?, I?m gonna make it all come true


Can you see us? We?re on horseback, mountains rising all around
Spring?ll be coming on soon, there?s a little snow left on the ground
Smoke is curling from the chimney of our cabin across the stream
Oh, Baby, let?s fly away, you and me.

I just want to fly away and you?re going, too
This big old city is tearing me up and I know that it?s breaking you
You call this making a living; Honey, I call it making do
Oh, Baby, let?s fly away
Baby, let?s fly away
Oh I just want to fly away with you
