Testo Happy Blues For John Glenn

People I was sittin' this mornin' with this on my mind Said there ain't no livin' man who gone around the world three time But John Glenn did Yes he did He did it, I'm talkin' about him Only did it for fun Half a million dollars made him feel so well He got to eatin' his lunch and couldn't hardly tell He said I feel all right John Glenn said it Everybody was laughin' And dipped in the gritty It was a million prayer went up Prayin' that he would land I looked at a schoolhouse full of men and they didn't know what to say But they said "Let him come back, God Please let him land You know that's the onliest man ever did it And you're the helpin' hand" I see'd him when he left but I didn't see him when he land But I knowed he was doin' all right when they said it is OK to give him a great big hand He'll be in on the ship They say he's on deck His mother say I know my son gonna make it, it ain't never been no mistake You know I wanna tell you somethin', this ain't lyin' You know that man must had on his mind flyin' It ain't nobody will take that for his tryin', unless they gonna build him his own self airplane and they gonna go flyin' They told him "Don't worry, this is true You may miss me for a few minutes but I'll be back to see about you" - He did! Yes he did Yes when he done it, didn't know what had happened the helicopter say - You know they tested that boy's body, even test his heart They knowed he was all right when he was gettin' to start I mean he's made it! He went around the world three times You know he went and got him an airplane,
