Steam Powered Aeroplane - Robert Earl Keen

Well I never went away on a steam powered aeroplane

Well I went and stayed and damn near didn’t come back again

Didn’t go very fast on a steam powered aeroplane

Oh the wheel went around, up and down, and inside and then back again

Sittin' in a 747 just watching them clouds roll by

Can’t tell if it’s sunshine or if it’s rain

Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high above Kansas City

On a genuine old fashioned steam powered aeroplane

Well I’d like to be a pilot on a steam powered aeroplane

Well I’d pull that pilot wheel around and then back again

Well, I’ll wear a blue hat, yeah, that says steam powered aeroplane

With letters that go around the rim and then back again
