Here we go another twenty four hours
   Every one of them away from you
   I'm laughing when I ought to be crying
   Baby tell me are you crying too
   You see a room in a five-star hotel
   It never really meant much to me
   Who needs a bottle of '57
   When the water back home is free?
  
   I'm just a flyer, getting higher
   Yeah I'm getting higher, a high flyer
  
   I've got no time on the highway
   And too much time on the road
   I've got no time on the highway
   (on the highway)
  
   Here we go another twenty four hours
   Making money for the GPO
   When we oughtta be taking it easy
   We're getting ready for another show
   And every day when you're all a-sleeping
   And in the night you see the sun
   I'm just a face in a crowd of people
   Who want to tell me I'm the only one
  
   I'm just a flyer, getting higher
   Yeah I'm getting higher, a high flyer
  
   But do I, do I, do I need to
   I'm getting down when I've gotta get back to you
   But do I, do I, do I want to
   I'm getting down when I've gotta get back to you
  
   I'm just a flyer, getting higher
   Yeah I'm getting higher, a high flyer
