Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ain't it foggy outside?

All the planes have been grounded

Ain't the fire inside?

Let's all go stand around it

Funny, I've been there and you've been here

And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

[Verse 2]

'Cause I understand you've been runnin' from the man

That goes by the name of the Sandman

He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye

Of a hurricane that's abandoned

[Verse 3]

Ain't the years gone by fast?

I suppose you have missed them

Oh, I almost forgot to ask

Did you hear of my enlistment?

Funny, I've been there and you've been here

And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

[Verse 4]

'Cause I understand you've been runnin' from the man

That goes by the name of the Sandman

He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye

Of a hurricane that's abandoned

[Verse 5]

I understand you've been runnin' from the man

That goes by the name of the Sandman

He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye

Of a hurricane that's abandoned

[Verse 6]

I understand you've been runnin' from the man

That goes by the name of the Sandman

He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye

Of a hurricane that's abandoned

[Verse 7]

I understand you've been runnin' from the man

That goes by the name of the Sandman

He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye

Of a hurricane that's abandoned
