The stars are bright in the velvet night
You could read a book in the full moonlight
Flyin' in the clouds, what a heavenly gift
If I was afraid to fly, I'd be afraid to live
Engines humming you can hear me coming
Flash in the sky like a star going by
Delivering the mail
On the graveyard shift
If I was afraid to fly, I'd be afraid to live
Pilot seat in an old tin can
Gaffers tape and rubber bands
Hear the choirs in the rush of the air
Too much weight
I'm more awake than scared
Underpaid dog-tired
Bleary-eyed, coffee wired
Boring a hole in the black of night
The company knows I'd pay them
To let me fly
Columbus lies over the edge of the world
I don't miss the crowd
I don't miss my girl
Sometimes my head spins out on me
I think I sense eternity
A pressure differental results in lift
I keep my thoughts from drifting
If I was afraid to fly, I'd be afraid to live
Out of the night and the wheels touch down
Three A.M. in Columbus Town
Distant flash from a thunder cloud
Got to get a clearence got to bail out now
Down on the ground
I'm just another stiff
If I was afraid to fly, I'd be afraid to live(Chris Cagle/M. Jason Greene)
Hey, hey turn up that song, I think about you when it comes on
And I get lifted off the ground
And when you're in my arms I feel the beat down in my heart
It makes my world spin around
So come on baby, you know the moment's right
Yeah, take me by the hand
And we can rock away the night
I wanna dance 'til the break of day
To the music that we make
There's never been a sweeter sound
I wanna wake the neighbors
Make the headlines in the morning paper
No I don't wanna turn it down
'Cause there's nothing the rhythm of love
So play it loud
You're like a melody
And girl it gets all over me
When you move the way you do
And when I feel your touch
Then it gets to be too much
You know it puts me in a mood
Come on baby, don't be shy
Just open up your heart and hold on tight
I wanna dance 'til the break of day
To the music that we make
There's never been a sweeter sound
I wanna wake the neighbors
Make the headlines in the morning paper
No I don't wanna turn it down
'Cause there's nothing the rhythm of love
So play it loud
So come on baby, you know the moment's right
Take me by the hand
And we can rock away the night
I wanna dance 'til the break of day
To the music that we make
There's never been a sweeter sound
I wanna wake the neighbors
Make the headlines in the morning paper
No I don't wanna turn it down
'Cause there's nothing the rhythm of love
So play it loud
