Take Off Time Composer(s): Autry Inman Performer(s): Claude Gray; Don Walser
I can't wait till the sun to go down Get myself headed into town I'm a-gonna Schlitz and Bud and Bush Till I get high
I've had enough of reality Lookin' for a world of fantasy I got a plan to get a brew in my hand 'Cause it's take off time
The rent's past due and the landlord said I got till two to pay the 'lectric bill I got me on my knees, beggin' please But tonight I fly
My Wife's sat home waitin' for my check When I don't show, she's a-gonna raise heck But I got a flash, I'm a-gettin' the cash Tonight's take off time
I'm a-gonna climb to dizzying heights I'm a-gonna shine like the neon lights I'm a-gonna sing and dance and drink And blow my mind
When I get through, I'll be in a mess But I'll tell you, I couldn't care less 'Cause even so when I get this low It's take off time
Some folks fly TWA But I know a whole lot better way The comin' down's rough, the hangover's tough But I like the climb
I never had a pill and I never will But the kick is the same when you learn to kill You're troubles and blues, with a couple of brews 'Cause that's take off time
I'm a-gonna climb to dizzying heights I'm a-gonna shine like the neon lights I'm a-gonna sing and dance and drink And blow my mind
When I get through I'll be in a mess But I'll tell you, I couldn't care less 'Cause even so when I get this low It's take off time
