I'm stuck on the L.A. freeway
Got rainwater in my boots
My thumb done froze, can't feel my toes
I'm feeling a little destitute
Wheels spilling water all over my ax
And Mr. Jones won't lend me a hand
Up come two cats in a Cadillac
They say, "Won't you hop in, man?"
And I went flying high
All the way
All the way
The one that's driving's got a bowler hat
The other's got a fez on his head
They turn around and grin and I grin back
But not a word was said
So I took out my harp and I played 'em a tune
I could see they were digging it
Then the one with the fez, well he turns and he says
"We'd like to help you make your trip"
And I went flying high
All the way
All the way
He says, "Can't leave 'em out in the rain
He just might freeze and die
So why not put 'em on a plane
And send 'em home in the sky?"
So they took me to the L.A. airport
And laid twenty dollars in my hand
Well I paid my fare, I'm in the air
Flying back home again
And I went flying high
All the way
Yeah, all the way
All the way, you know
I went flying high all the way
Don't you know I went flying high all the way
Don't you know I went flying high all the way
You know I went flying high all the way
