There’s something crazy, hilarious
Yet something sublime
We go over the harness
Snap in the lines
She going to wing-walk
For the very first time
One classy lady – delirious
I can’t believe, that this can be serious
She’s so darned cute —
In her helmet and curls
She has no parachute
She’s one heck of a girl
Taxi out onto the strip
Carefully weave from right to left
I tell her on the intercom;
‘We’re going up next.”
She signals to go
As I throttle up slow
Her knees start to shake as I let up the brake
The air starts to flow
The plane want to go
Feel the power through the seat
Glance at the gauge, engine has heat
One quick low pass
Ten feet up, above the green grass
I push her up into a roll
And that crazy woman lets go
Now, there’s no danger —
She’s tied on there pretty good
But it did kind of startle me so
And after a while it was time to come down
The old biplane’s wheels touch the ground
The real challenge still lies ahead
But I’ve never really cared for what anyone said
I am going ask this strange girl to marry me.
