The Lyrics

Hey, it happens. Gas stations have clearly marked "No Smoking" signs but that doesn't stop everyone....
I was sitting in a Chevron station,
Considering my destination.
Pumping gas into my bike while dragging on a Lucky Strike;
I thought it was a harmless lark ... until I dropped a single spark.
Skyward bound,
I found myself
Skyward bound,
Up, where the sun is shining,
Up, where the birds are flying,
Up... then the ground is lying
Right there below me.
This was a boring day for me.
I worked at the truck fac-tory.
Then went to fill up my Harley, and smoke a cigarette or three
(...At the same time, but well, you see ... that last part didn't work for me)
Skyward bound,
I found myself
Skyward bound,
Up, where the sun is shining,
Up where the birds are flying,
Up...then the ground is lying
Right there below me.

I realized I'd been such a fool;
The spark I dropped ignited fuel.
The gas station blew up on me and launched me up above the trees
Who cares about the things I see? The fall will be the death of me!
Skyward bound,
I found myself
Skyward bound,
Up, where the sun is shining,
Up, where the birds are flying,
Up...then the ground is lying
Right there below me.
Right there below me.
