Line up your hood ornament with the highway honey

Turn on your radio they'll be playing our song

Congratulations are over we're heading for clover

Chasin' the big time being young



(And you gotta)

Hang on to your airplane honey

Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky

Life is like a fast train comin'

Catch you standin' still

It'll pass you by



Some folks just sit around the house and do nothing

Some people can't lose some people can't win

There's a man on the street

He got something to sell you

Listen to his story

Don't let him take you in



(And you gotta)

Hang on to your airplane honey

Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky

Life is like a fast train comin'

Catch you standin' still

It'll pass you by



No matter were you stand there's another side

And I wanna find it with you

Rockin' the boat still keep it afloat

Honeymoon me and I'll honeymoon you



When we're much older and the world's on our shoulders

I wanna be glad for all that we've done

I'll sit beside you sweet lullaby you

Livin' in our dreams still being young



(And you gotta)

Hang on to your airplane honey

Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky

Life is like a fast train comin'

Catch you standin' still

It'll pass you by
