Lyrics 30,000 Feet (Live) - Ben Rector

14A, 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 magazine
He felt like talking and offered me his name
So I asked him how he was
And he smiled and said, "Well, son"

He said, "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
And it seems like you end up getting what you need
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 its moments, just the same as anything
I miss my town, I miss my wife
But I'm up here with five to six thousand Georgians tonight

I said, "I've been better, I've been worse
I have loved a pretty girl
Seen a couple places that I never thought I'd see
I've walked into harder times
I've walked out the other side
And it seems like you end up getting what you need
Looking down from 30,000 feet
Life's been good to me"

Sometimes we can get lost
Living in the here and now
Sometimes it takes the sky
To see what's on the ground

Oh, this is good guys
This is good
Ready?
One, two, three, four

David Besonen everyone

So, if you know the words to this song you can help me sing 'em
If you don't know the words, what are you doing at this concert?
I'm joking, you don't have to know the words
But if you do, here we go
That was a great solo
Here we go

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
And it seems like you end up getting what you need
Looking down from 30,000 feet
Life's been good to me

Two, three, four
