The engines spit out fire
I'm pushed back in my chair
The pressure gives me thrills

As we climb in the air

And I love to watch the clouds

And the mountains and the sky
Swish around a @@#!tail
The stewardess brings by


Lord, this is the life for me
Lord, oh, Lord

This is the life for me

But I don't wanna die

In an air disaster
I don't wanna die on a plane


Well, I fishtail through the lanes
And I make my tires squeal
Power at my feet

And glory at the wheel

And I wind the windows down

Let the wind blow through my hair
God knows where I'm going
But me, I don't care


Lord, this is the life for me
Lord, oh, Lord

This is the life for me

But I don't wanna die

In a freeway pile up
I don't wanna die on the road


Well, I'm young and I'm pretty
And I wanna stay that way
Wanna be desirable

Till my dying day

I don't wanna be bedridden

An old and bitter sage
Have the nurses saying
I'm young for my age

(He's young for his age)

Oh, Lord

Don't let me go that way
Lord, oh Lord
Don't let me go that way


No, don't make me go
Like a fading chorus

Don't make me fade like a song

Lord, have mercy on your son

Lord, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Have mercy on me


Cause I don't wanna die
In an air disaster
And I don't wanna die

In a freeway pile up

And I don't wanna go

Like a fading chorus
And I don't wanna die
For no good reason


And I just wanna go on and on
