DThe skies over GCubaD, turned Apink with the Dlight
And the waterfront Bmritual, began to Aignite.
All the ships in the GharbourD, were Awarmed by the Dsun
Twenty fifth of BmNovember, ANineteen Twenty-Done. G D
On the old ChickaGmougaD, the Asignal jacks Dflew
And the message they Bmspelled out, caused a great ballyAhoo
Every ship in GHavanaD, then Ahoisted Daway
All the pennants were Bmflyin', Aon my Dad's first Dbirthday
CHORUS:
AEnduring echoes call Dout from his past,
ATime ain't for savin', no Dtime's not for that.
BmChasin' false F#mechoes like a Glost legionnaireA,

He Gwaltzes on Bmmemories while he Afades like Dflare G D
Now his storybook GchildhoodD, was Anot make Dbelieve
On the decks of a Bmtall ship, he was taught to Aachieve.
Witnessed storms and GstarvationD, Natural Awonders and DForce
Oh the life of a Bmsailor, Asteers a wandering Dcourse G D
REPEAT CHORUS:
Well now life throws us Gcurve Dballs, We Anever can Dreach
He gave up the Bmocean, but he lived by the Abeach.
Where he raised up his GfamilyD, taught Aus all to Dsurvive
Then the wind went Bmaway in ANineteen Ninety-DFive G D

Now the old ChickaGmaugaD, has Aslipped by the Dways
She lies on the Bmbottom of old Mobile ABay
Where the ghosts of his GfatherD and his Abrother are Dnear
They protect him and Bmtell him, AThere's nothing to Dfear G D
Cause it's family GtraditionD, We Atake to the Dsea
And it's a time in the Bmfuture, For ACameron and Dme G D
REPEAT CHORUS:
DThe skies over GCubaD Were Awarmed by the Dsun,
Twenty fifth of BmNovember, ANineteen Twenty-oneD.

A#I could Abe a A#rambler from the GSeven DialFs
I don't Apay tA#axes 'cuz IG never filFe
A#And I doAn't dA#o business that doesn't Gmake me smile F
I love my aeroplaneG 'cuz she got Fstyle
I'm a treetop flyerA A# C B G F
I fly any cargo that you can pay to run
The bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done
You've got to fly down into the canyons
You don't ever see the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run
Oh, treetop flyer
I fly low, I'm in high demand
I go 15 feet over the Rio Grande
I blow the mesquite right up off of the sand
Seldom seen, especially when I land
I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor
break- run on 3rd fret of all strings
The people they ask me, ``Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
It's over in Vietnam chasin' N.V.A.
The government taught me, and they taught me right
Stay down under the tree line
And you might be alright
Treetop flyer
So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
I promised my woman, this is gonna be my last
I get the ship down, I tie her fast
And then somebody walks up and says
``Hey son, wanna make some fast cash?"
Treetop flyer
Well there's things I am and there's things I'm not
I am a smuggler and I could get shot
I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna get caught
You see, I'm a flyin' fool in an aeroplane
I'm just too hot
I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor
