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
