14A, window seat, tennis shoes and faded jeans Nervous as he tells me it's his first time on a plane. We took off and headed East, I was thumbing through the magazines He felt like talking and offered me his name. So I asked him how he was And he smiled and said, Well son, I've been better, I've been worse I've chased after pretty girls Seen a couple places that I never thought I'd see I've walked into harder times, and I've walked out the other side It seems like you end up getting what you need Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me I've been out a month or so, another night, another show One hundred different cities, they all just seem the same He asked me what it must be like, singing songs under the lights Well, it's got its moments, just the same as anything I miss my town, I miss my wife But I'm up here with you tonight I said I've been better, I've been worse I have loved a pretty girl I've seen a couple places that I never thought I'd see I've walked into harder times, I've walked out the other side It seems like you end up getting what you need Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me Good to me Sometimes we can get lost living in the here and now Sometimes it takes the sky to see what's on the ground I've been better, I've been worse I've chased after pretty girls I've seen a couple places that I never thought I'd see I've walked into harder times, I've walked out the other side It seems like you end up getting what you need Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me Good to me
