I remember
We were flying along
And hit something in the air
Laying here, looking at the ceiling
Someone lays a sheet across my chest
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back
I try to move my arm and there's no feeling
And when I look, I see there's nothing there
The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare
I remember
We were flying along
And hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along
And hit something in the air
Then I looked straight at the attendant
His face is pale as it can be
He bends and whispers something softly
He says there's no chance for me
I remember
We were flying along
And hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along
And hit something in the air
Life is flowing out my body
Pain is flowing out with my blood
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying
God in Heaven, teach me how to die
I remember
We were flying along
And hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along
And hit something in the air
According to Bloodrock guitarist Lee Pickens, the origin of the song is about an airplane incident he encountered when he was a teenager.
When I was 17, I wanted to be an airline pilot. I had just gotten out of this airplane with a friend of mine, at this little airport, and I watched him take off. He went about 200 feet in the air, rolled and crashed.
The band decided to write a song about the incident and it was featured on their sophomore album.
The song peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971, but many radio stations and high schools in the United States banned the song due to its content.
What do you think was the last thing that went through his head?
His ass. Recklessness has consequences.
