And with a mean sewing machine And miles of thread

We drank the Great Lakes Like cold lemonade

And both got stomach aches Sprawled out in the shade

I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon

Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon
So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

I can't wait To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
