uncle harvey's plane - dave stamey lyrics

uncle harvey’s plane lyrics
well me ‘n’ oliver ‘n’ virgil’s in the feedstore k!lling time
when my eyes fell upon this magazine
i got to reading this here article about sky*diving and parachutes
and it said jumping out of airplanes was the thing
being raised down on a ranch n always ready for a little adventure
i knew that i could figure out a way
well delmer gill’s got a parachute and uncle harvey’s got an airplane
so i said call the boys together, today’s the day

i found out too late what uncle harvey called an airplane
wasn’t nothing but an engine and a wing
and i could feel my fear a*rising as delmer packed the parachute
’cause he kept telling me i was doing the right thing

john mcloughlin shook my hand as jd strapped me in the harness
and tildon brought a jug and passed it around
i took one look at that airplane and at that parachute and that whiskey
and i tipped that bottle up and drank it down

well i was drunk as cooter jones when they poured me in the airplane
and the engine coughed and headed for the clouds
but i was sober as a judge by the time they opened up that door
i’ve never known my heart to beat so loud

i said, tildon, i can’t do it as he kicked me out the door
and i wrapped my hands around the landing gear
and i was holding on real good ’til that sucker stepped down on my fingers
tj said he heard me yell from way down there
i thanked god and delmer gill when my parachute finally opened
i said well, heck there ain’t no use in being afraid
and i went crashing through the hen house, scattering chickens and breaking eggs
and i kissed the ground and fainted dead away

now friends i’ve done some fighting, and i’ve been shot at once or twice
and i’ve dang near got run over by a train
but i don’t ever once remember being any more afraid
than the day i jumped from uncle harvey’s plane
