Brown Flight Jacket
Cherry Poppin' Daddies

Here's to your endeavors

Make 'em big and bold

His last words I remember

Every time my feet get cold


His breath began to labor

I felt my tears pour out

Then grandma brang in the one thing

He most cared about


Oh yeah, it was a brown flight jacket

It said Hell From Above

Grampa gave it to me

On his death bed with his love

Brown flight jacket

Live till you die

I'm tail spinning on fire

And falling to deep water from the sky


He'd tried to calm his panic

When he hit the sea

A Japanese destroyer

Fished him out inhumanly


They clubbed him with their rifles

And dumped him in Bataan

He weighed less than 100 pounds

When they finally rescued him



Oh yeah, it was his brown flight jacket

Left in my care

I'm wrapped up in my fathers

As I pirouette and plummet through the air


I thread my arms into his sleeves

(Son of his son)

But I kid myself

He fought his fear and won


We all can't live in razzle-dazzle days

But I won't go from thing to thing to...whatever pays


Oh yeah, it was a brown flight jacket

Hell From Above

Grampa gave it to me

On his death bed with his love

Brown flight jacket

Live till you die

I'm tail spinning on fire

And falling to deep water from the sky


Deep water...
