Airline to Heaven Lyrics


There's an airline plane
Flies to Heaven everyday
Past the Pearly GatesIf you want to ride that train
Have your ticket in your hand
Before it's too lateThe world looks wrong
And your money's spent and gone
And your friend has turned awayYou can get away to Heaven
On this airplane
Just bow your head and prayThem's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skiesTake this airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skiesOh, a lot of people guess
Some say no and some say yes
Takes some and leave some behindBut you will surely know
When to the airport go
To leave your sins behindLot of speakers speak
Lot of preachers preach

When you lay their salary on the lineWell, the only earthly way
Is to bow your head and pray
You can fly to Heaven on time
Fly to Heaven on timeThem's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skiesAnd take that airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skiesYour ticket that you obtain
On this heavenly airline plane
To leave this world behindYou've got to make that flight
May be daytime, might be night
But you can't see your way if you're blindThem's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skiesTake that airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies

The British singer Billy Bragg and the American band Wilco collaborated to put to music and perform previously unheard lyrics written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie. The project was organized by Guthrie's daughter, Nora Guthrie. The ensuing album "Mermaid Avenue" was released on the Elektra Records label on June 23, 1998. A second volume of recordings, "Mermaid Avenue Vol. II", followed in 2000. The projects are named after a song "Mermaid's Avenue" written by Guthrie. This was also the street in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York on which Guthrie lived.
