[Intro]      (2x) [Verse] 1.The engines spit out fire I’m pushed back in my chair the pressure gives me thrills as we climb in the air. And I love to watch the clouds and the mountains and the sky swish around a cocktail the stewardess brings by. [Chorus] Lord this is the life for me Lord oh Lord this is the life for me but I don’t wanna die in an air disaster I don’t wanna die on a plane. [Verse] 2. Well I fishtail through the lanes and I make my tires squeal power at my feet and glory at the wheel. And I wind the windows down let the wind blow through my hair God knows where I’m going but me I don’t care. [Chorus] Lord this is the life for me Lord oh Lord this is the life for me but I don’t wanna die in a freeway pile-up I don’t wanna die on the road [Verse] 3. Well I’m young and I’m pretty   and I wanna stay that way wanna be desirable until my dying day. I don’t wanna be bed ridden an old and bitter sage have the nurses saying I’m young for my age. ("He’s young for his age.") [Chorus] Oh Lord don’t let me go that way Lord oh Lord don’t let me go that way. No don’t make me go like a fading chorus don’t make me fade like a song. Lord have mercy on your son Lord oh Lord oh Lord have mercy on me ’cause I don’t wanna die in an air disaster and I don’t wanna die in a freeway pile-up and I don’t wanna go like a fading chorus and I don’t wanna die for no good reason and I just wanna go on and on.
