lyrics versions 1 and 5
Took a plane to Minnesota to see my lady love
The cloud was far below me and the sky was high above
And when the captain called the flight time
Well my heart cried out this song
It's still an hour till arrival
And that's an hour much too long
Fly fly fly
My baby gets me high
I spend too much time in taxicab
Please don't ask me why
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together till we die
We'll honeymoon in Haifa and have lunch in Galilee
We'll hitchhike up through Switzerland and drop in at L'Abri
We'll spend our winters in Laguna
And our summers on the farm
Spend the rest of life in heaven
Locked in each other's arm
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask me why
I can't tell you
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together till we die
And then after
Fly fly fly
My baby gets me high
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky [x2]
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time just hanging round the airport
Please don't ask me why
Fly fly fly
Seven forty seven, halfway to heaven
A lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together till we die
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask me why
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together till we die
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time just hanging round the airports
Please don't ask me why
Fly fly fly
Seven forty seven, halfway to heaven
A lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together till we die
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask me why

[At this point the music continues, but faded as Larry says the following: Thank you. I'm Larry Norman and you're listening to Here's To Veterans. That was a song I recorded in England, eh, this last year with a lot of my friends. It's called Meet Me At The Airport and it's about touring and travelling, and love. Now it's time for a few words from the Veterans Administration and then we'll be right back.]

lyrics version 3
I took a plane to Minnesota to see my lady love
The ground was far below me and the clouds were high above
And when the captain called the flight time
Well my heart cried out this song
It's still an hour till arrival
And that's an hour much too long
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time in taxi cabs
Please don't ask me why
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
Take me to my baby
I wanna be there by her side
I met her in the summer, I was walking on the beach
My life was pretty empty but love was just in reach
I want to spend my whole life with her
And not see her just now and then
But the tours are booked, the schedule's planned
And I'm on the road again
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time just hangin' 'round the airports
Please don't ask me why, I can't tell you
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
I got to see my baby
I wanna be there by her side
Brrrr hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Fly fly fly
My baby gets me high
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky [x2]
We'll get married and honeymoon in Haifa
And go down to Galilee

And I'd drop in at L'Abri
We'll spend our winters in Laguna
And our summers on the farm
We'll spend the rest of life in love's heaven
Locked in each other's arms
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time just hangin' 'round the airports
Please don't ask me why, ask my agent
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky

We'll be together till we die
Ah yeah, I can't wait to see her
