Wheels Ain't Coming Down

We were leaving L.A. airport

Me and Midland's misery

On an early morning plane flight out

To some radio XYZ



Was a 1950's prob job

That had seen much better days

When we came on into the last appoach

Saw the runway through a haze



Chorus

And the wheels ain't coming down

All in mind our lives passed before my eyes

And the wheels ain't coming down

And you realize you wanna stay alive

You wanna stay alive



Women weeping, children playing

As we roared into a climb

Men was praying, we was drinking lots

And it never cost a dime



Altered course for San Francisco

Standing by on a red alert

Gonna chance a landing on the sea

Hoping nobody gets hurt



Chorus

And the wheels ain't coming down

All in mind our lives passed before my eyes

And the wheels ain't coming down

And you realize you wanna stay alive

You wanna stay alive



Wanna stay alive



Stay alive



We aborted joked the captain

When our feet had touched the ground

And I won't forget the moment he said

"It's OK folks the wheels are coming down"



Chorus

And the wheels they're coming down

Did you realize it's good to be alive

And the wheels they're coming down

Did you realize you're gonna just survive

It's good to be alive



It's good to be alive



They're coming down



They're coming on down



They're coming on down



They're coming on down
