i'm riding a plane to happiness

i'm going across the sea

i'm saying goodbye to loneliness

i'm thinking of you and me

goodbye all who broke my heart

you never could let me be

so i'm riding a plane to happiness

i'm going across the sea

i came here about four years ago

i knew that i could not stay

i met a lot of people in my life

i'll see them another day

my brother he went behind four walls

spending his life to pray

so i'm riding a plane to happiness

i'm going the other way

i had a baby on my knee

i wonder where he is now

living a life of luxury

safe in his daddy's power

but if he remembers all the days gazing upon the sea

i'll know that my life was not in vain

thinking of you and me

i'm riding a plane to happiness

i'm going across the sea

i'm saying goodbye to loneliness

i'm thinking of you and me

goodbye all who broke my heart

they never could let me be

so i'm riding a plane to happiness

i'm going across the sea

thinking has got me down again

twas thinking that got me here

i've had a lot of chances in my life

but i just had to get free

and what i lost in gay paris

i found it again out west and deep in the arizona sand

i found what i don't like best

goodbye echo in simon

day patrick who fell in love

nancy who gave her heart to me

and vincent to made it rough

and all of the rest to know your names

what will you have to say

when the truth is unfolded

and the story is told on the judgment day

i'm riding a plane to happiness

i'm going across the sea

i'm saying goodbye to loneliness

i'm thinking of you and me

goodbye all who broke my heart

you never could let me be

so i'm riding a plane to happiness

i'm going across the sea

i'm riding the plane to happiness

i'm going across the sea
