Tryin' to travel nowadays You just can't do it Kerouac's way There's a million miles of new turnpike But the highway's closed to the old hitchhiker You gotta head for the airport Hear the call of the wild come over the PA: "Final boarding" To be on the road, you gotta be in the sky Don't walk or drive, that's a waste of time Hear my advice, you wanna take a trip Stick out your thumb on the landing strip But show up an hour early And you gotta have a ticket And you can't make jokes about bombs or guns, or Osama bin Laden They take that seriously Pick a city they'll get you there It's not half the time, if you go by air It's heaven on earth with your head in the clouds Nice and quiet, not a soul around Except the other passengers And the air flight attendents, and the pilots And geese You've gotta savor the flavor of American flight And thank the Lord for the brothers Wright It's the way to go, you don't have to ask I just hope you don't need the oxygen mask Or the seat that acts as a floatation device Or a parachute I'd have to say you must be lyin' If you were to say you don't like flyin' You'd trade your pilot's wings and a good jetlag For old 'Lonesome higway' rag? You wanna see the cities up close And take each state in a heavy dose You wanna meet the people and know they're real Then go use your antique automobile Go taste the flowers of the midwest plains The New York chill and Seattle rains Go see the sun set over the western sea I'll take it all from thirty thousand feet Where we got stewardesses And an in-flight movie Peanuts Plane food Little seats, little aisles, little windows Ah, somebody get me a highway and and a Volkswagon And I'll be a happy man I'll see you in California
