THE Aviation song of all times!!

[ATrude777]

Hey guys I heard this on the radio and saw the music video. It showed a NWA DC9 flying, and a Southwest 732 at the gate and a 727 and other "texas" planes. Its great!! Here is the lyrics to the song!
Alex


There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight

Destination New Orleans

Boss man says my big promotion's on the line

He says that's right where I need to be



Lately I've been on the road more than I've been home

All this leavin' her alone is killin' me

And holdin' her right now has got me thinkin' more and more

This is right where I need to be



Where when I hear her I can see her

I can smell her sweet perfume

I can feel her skin against me when I sleep

Where I won't miss her I can kiss her

Anytime that I want to

Yeah that's right where I need to be

Yeah that's right where I need to be

There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight

With an empty first class seat

'Cause I've finally got all my priorities in line

And I'm right where I need to be



Where when I hear her I can see her

I can smell her sweet perfume

I can feel her skin against me when I sleep

Where I won't miss her I can kiss her

Anytime that I want to

Yeah that's right where I need to be

Yeah I'm right where I need to be

Cool, but how about Steve Millers, Jet Airliner


Leavin’ home, out on the road
I’ve been down before
Ridin’ along in this big ol’ jet plane
I’ve been thinkin’ about my home
But my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it’s all been done
Somebody’s tryin’ to make me stay
You know I’ve got to be movin’ on

Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I’ve trusted
I’ve got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin’ high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Touchin’ down in new england town
Feel the heat comin’ down
I’ve got to keep on keepin’ on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin’ around
And I’m goin’ with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don’t want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin’ down in the city

Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Cause it’s there that I belong

Come on people...

DANGER ZONE!!!

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Right into the Danger Zone

Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the deck
And shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you
Right into the Danger Zone

You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go

Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity

Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone

Highway to the Danger Zone

That has nothing to do with flying, im talking about songs that actually use the word, cockpit, planes, airline, taking off, landing, etc etc words that physicaly relate to aviation. yours is more of a context, a relation in other words. the only thing relevant is Beggin' you to touch and go and Spreadin' out her wings tonight otherwise it sounds liek you driving as a maniac down a highway! lol

Alaska Air Rules- Thats an awsome song, is it a slow song or a fast song? I meant to say the song I chose is from Gary Allen. A true country dude

I'm surprised no one has posted Pink Floyd's "learning to fly". It's a favorite of mine.

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
... lights - on
Pitot Heater - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): 3-8-Echo cleared takeoff, the wind's normal at 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think i need a devil to help me
Get things right

Hook me up a new revolution
Cos this one is a lie
We sat around laughing
And watch the last one die

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something help me burn out bright

I'm looking for complications
Looking cos i'm tired of lying ('trying' in 2nd chorus)
Make my way back home
When i learn to fly (high)

Think i'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away
If you give me one last try

We live happily ever trapped
If you just save my life
Run and tell the angels
That everything is all right

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something help me burn out bright

Fly along with me
I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own

Fly along with me
I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something help me burn out bright

Alex, that song was branded by TOP GUN. LIke one of THEE best Aviation films of all time. While it may not have all the words of flying like yours.. im positive that anyone who hears Danger Zone thinks about flying
