Hat Into the Ring

Done too much time flying in this circus Too many years going around without a purpose Got to see if I can finally reach the surface Time is running out and I'm getting kind of nervous Spent too much time sitting in the simulators Keeping my eyes glued to the indicators A thousand routes that were stowed away for later The time has come for me to become an operator Time to throw my hat into the ring Time to throw my hat into the ring Time to throw my hat into the ring Took too much time waiting for a clearance Too many years of impatient perseverance My phraseology is losing its coherence It's getting more than high time for a final first appearance Now taking off just like Fast Eddie Rickenbacker Captain now is cruising with a seafoam Stratocaster You sorcerer's apprentice can't be nothing but a master Pushing down the throttle, now the turbine's turning faster Time to throw my hat into the ring Time to throw my hat into the ring Time to throw my hat into the ring Done too much time flying in this circus Too many years going around without a purpose Got to see if I can finally reach the surface
