lyrics

Have you got something big that needs to be said
In 100 foot letters way up overhead
Is there someone special that you're trying to impress
You call the Skywriter
You could write a letter you could type out a text
You could could make a call you could do it collect
If you wanna stand out might I suggest
The Skywriter
I'll be up in the sky with my face to the wind
Tell me where tell me when
I'm your ace up high with a message to send
And I'm your guy, Skywriter
I used to have a job out dusting crops
It wasn't much fun just back and forth
I wanna be up where I can feel the g-force
The Skywriter
I pull back on the stick and I'm starting to climb
Flip a little switch and the smoke starts to fly
Cut it off quick and then I dot the I
The Skywriter
I'll be up in the sky with my face to the wind
Tell me where tell me when
I'm your ace up high with a message to send
And I'm your guy, Skywriter
Oh! There he goes!
All the kids begin to shout
His engine's gone out
He's losing altitude
What's he gonna do
He better act quick
I'm gonna be sick
Skywriter
I'll be up in the sky with my face to the wind
Tell me where tell me when
I'm your ace up high with a message to send
And I'm your guy
I'm your guy
I'm your guy, Skywriter
