[Verse 1]
I'm flying across the ocean and I'm soaring back home
To the place I was born and probably raised
And I'm flying across the mountains and valleys
Back home to the one that I love so happily
[Verse 2]
Can ya blame me for feeling homesick?
'Cause I've been away such a very long long time
I served a while in the county jail, five years for
For bein' hungry, tired and poor, I got worried so
[Bridge]
On and on, this I will follow with your buttons and bows
On and on, this I will follow, all alone
You know I will follow with your buttons and bows
On and on, this I will follow with your buttons and bows
You know I will follow with your buttons and bows
On and on, this I will follow with your buttons and bows
You know I will follow with your buttons and bows
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I'm flying across the ocean
Goin' home, hoo hoo
Flying was written by Ron Wood & Ronnie Lane & Rod Stewart.
