Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was Ansett 603, he sits down next to me
We were flying out across the Great Divide
Bound for WA, he shook my hand and said, good day
There I was, Slim Dusty by my side
[Verse 2]
I was flying with the king
Riding on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
[Verse 3]
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flying
I was flying with the king
[Verse 4]
Was Trumby riding slow 30,000 feet below
Way down there round a fire of didgee coal
The desert stretching on, home to countless Dusty songs
He was the man who walked a country mile
[Verse 5]
I was flying with the king
Riding on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
[Verse 6]
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flying
I was flying with the king
[Verse 7]
And before I knew the wheels touched down
He smiled and said, I'll see you around
There was so much more to say
But  he was gone
And now, he's gone
[Verse 8]
I was flying with the king
Riding on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
[Verse 9]
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flying
I was flying with the king
