`Cross the Bering strait

to a foreign land

I took to the sky just like I planned

Left my old life behind

there in the ice and snow

followed a rainbow to Mexico



Somewhere this side of lucky just shy of goin` down

there`s a pilot with her wings on fire

and she doesn`t even notice,

she got magic on her mind

`cause she`s flyin` solo for the first time



Chorus:

Flying solo

like an angel in the night

flyin` solo

across the great devide

I`ve been down so low, now I`m up so high

there ain`t nothin` short of dying

is gonna make me change my mind

flyin` solo, flyin` solo



Like a fallin` leaf

I fell down from your tree

chalk one up to prosperity

in search of warmer waters

I`m like a bird gone south

don`t know just what I`ll find

but I`m finding out



Now here I`m dancin` with the moon

spinning out of control

never be the same again

`cause there`s a place under the horizon

where it hardly ever rains

the sun is always shining

freedom is it`s name



- Chorus -



Around the world that`s where I`ll be

Amelia Earheart`s got nothin` on me



- Chorus -
