LYRICS

Helicopter Ride

(B. Sampson 2009)
There’s a feeling I’ve been after
Since the day I left home
I’d watch my daddy in the brickyard
Work his hands to the bone

I’m addicted to the drug
Like this magic carpet dream
Of a boy from Nebraska
And his flying machine

I want to take off in the morning
I want to get you alone
Want to get you hooked
So you know what I know

The rhythm of the rotors
Pull us straight up off the ground
Turn any way I want to while we spin around
Hold on steady, hold on tight
And we’ll roll across the sky
I want to take you on a helicopter ride

Then we’ll head out to the prairie
Get a bird’s eye point of view
Watch the Huskers take the field
Auto-Rotate with you

I’m crippled by the sound
Of the air slapped by the blades
Jet fuel hits the turbine
Like blood runs in my veins

Climb That Mountain
(B. Sampson))

Capo 2nd fret

C Well I know my F time will C come,
Am when I G lived F another song C
I’m bleedin’ heart boy, just F learnin’ to C drive
Am Standing G next to you F C

Like a Am bluebird, with G brand new C wings
Am I’ll stumble through G anything C
Someday, I’ll F climb that C mountain,
Am help me G down the F other side C
Someday, I’ll F climb that C mountain,
Am help me G down the F other side C

C Well I run through F trees C alone,
Am singing G soft and I’m F singing slow C
Got a pan for a hat and a F stick for a C gun
Am Salute G to you F C

C Well I know my F days are C numbered,
Am I had a G feeling F all along C
The girl I love F left me C inspired
Am Now I’m G standing next to you F C
