My First Solo
Words by Mark L Berry & Music by Billy Sea
Performed by Billy Sea
Startin’ the engine
Instructor just watchin’
He’s just relaxin’
Lettin’ me try
To handle the throttle
The flaps and the radio
Rollin’ for take-off
He’s lettin’ me fly
Three landings later
We pulled over
Under beautiful weather
And a clear blue sky
(chorus)
I’ll never forget
My first solo
Instructor hopped out
And away I go
I’ll never forget
My first solo
Up in the air
Up all alone
No one to ask
No one to talk to
No one to blame
My oh my
(bridge)
I was really flyin’
I was really tryin’
To keep from Diein’
Durin’ my first landin’
I was really sweatin’
No time for contemplatin’
Pit it on the runway
On my first try
(chorus)
I’ll never forget
My first solo
Instructor hopped out
And away I go
I’ll never forget
My first solo
Up in the air
Up all alone
