i wish i was a pilot on my own steam powered aereoplane i'd fly right up in the sky and never look back i'd have me a hat that said "i got me a steam powered aereoplane", it'd look like a cowboy hat but it would be a pilot's. sitting on a 747 watching them clouds go by can't tell if the sun is shining, or if it's raining. i'd rather be on a deck chair high above kansas city on a genuine old fashioned automatic spap if i had me my own steam poered aereoplane i'd fly right up in the sky and never look back i'd fly by the mountains, over the sea head right home be with my baby every night by the fire
