Lyrics
Propeller Planes

Bright and crisp, it's early mornin'
my little boy and me have a plan
headed out to the local airport
to watch the planes take off and land

He asks me why they fly so high
I do my best to explain
he says "Dad, lets be pilots and pretend"
we're flyin our Propeller Planes

Growin up a mile a minute
repeatin' every word I say
he watches everything i do
then he does it his own way

He tells me why they fly so high
points as he explains
then we both laugh as we pretend
we're flyin our Propeller Planes

Wish I could slow down time, stay right here and now
but he's got mountains to climb, I'll try and show him how
ain't much else i can do, 'cept be there for him
teach him a thing or two, maybe just enjoy the view

Down the road when he's all grown up
he'll test his wings and fly away
I'll watch him go and say a prayer
hang on to memories like today

He says" Dad look, I can fly"
there are no words to explain
there's nothin better in this world
than to pretend
We're flying our Propeller Planes
We're flying our Propeller Planes
