Once you get a taste of freedom

it's hard to settle down

Once you get the hang of flying

it's hard to touch back down

Girl I know you're from the old school

find a man and start a home

But I can hear the sound of distant thunder

calling us to roam

Over yonder

I can hear the sound of distant thunder

I can see our destiny unfurl

And I wonder

at the mystery and beauty we'll discover

When we embark and make our mark upon the world

I can see your mama's worried

that I won't take care of you

'cause I ain't got no steady income

no realistic point of view

Don't she know that heaven smiles

on those who live the life they love

That's why you hear the sound of distant thunder

coming from above

Over yonder…
