30,000 Feet Lyrics - Singles - Ben Rector

Fourteen A, 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, 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 

A 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 it's 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, yeah 

Sometimes we can get lost 

Livin 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 place 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
