Lyrics[]
Do you think I'm crazy for considerin' aviation?
I'm a fan of flyin', wanna do it for the nation
'Cause I have nothing else to do this summer, but committed to you
Have a big degree in philosophy, but I don't know what I wanna be
So, I'm goin' into aviation, yeah, mom
I'm goin' into aviation, yeah, dad
Goin' into aviation
I'm goin' into aviation
Do you think I'm crazy 'cause I'm up and leavin', baby, yeah?
Well, I ain't got nobody and I ain't got no money, baby, yeah
I feel high as I might tonight, so lean back and enjoy the ride
And the weather is clear, yeah, nobody is near, the future is not yet here
So, I'm goin' into aviation, yeah, mom
I'm goin' into aviation, yeah, dad
Goin' into aviation
I'm goin' into aviation
Do you think I'm crazy 'cause I'm goin' to Pensacola? Hmm
Where nobody knows me, where someone could just start over, hm
I'll be all right in a month or two, 'cause it's warm there in the winter, too
Think New York is great, I really like the state, but it's time to be on my way
I'm goin' into aviation, yeah, mom
I'm goin' into aviation, yeah, dad
I'm gonna take a vacation, yeah, man
Fly fighter jets all over the nation
Fly fighter jets all over the nation
