Lee Kernaghan - Flying With The King lyrics

rate me

It was Ansett 603

He sits down next to me

We were flying out across the Great Divide

Bound for WA

He shook my hand and said “good day”

There I was, Slim Dusty by my side

I was flying with the king

Riding on the wind

A small town boy from nowhere

My head up in the clouds

All the times I heard him play

And here I was today

I was flying, I was flying with the king

Was Trumby riding slow

30,000 feet below

Way down there round a fire of gidgee coal

The desert stretching on

Home to countless Dusty songs

He was the man who walked a country mile

I was flying with the king

Riding on the wind

A small town boy from nowhere

My head up in the clouds

All the times I heard him play

And here I was today

I was flying, I was flying with the king

And before I knew the wheels touched down

He smiled and said "I'll see you round"

There was so much more to say but he was gone

And now he's gone

I was flying with the king

Riding on the wind

A small town boy from nowhere

My head up in the clouds

And all the times I heard him play

And here I was today

I was flying, I was flying with the king
