Ben Rector 30,000 Feet song lyrics

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
