[Verse]
DbMy parents must have GbthoughAbt they had a crazy Dbkid
'Cause I was one of those Gbkids Abwho always knew what I Dbwanted
AbThey took me Gbdown to the airport to see all the planes departing
DbWatching them fly something inside of me was starting
GbI was eight when I told them that I'd be a Abpilot
But I was too Gbyoung and too short
GbAnd there were no female captains
And my Dbdad said, "be patient" he said, "just see what happens"
But I Gbtook my first lesson came down from the sky
AbN.C.
And told my father I'd fly for the rest of my life
And I Gbgot my first job flying for a mortician
In a Dbtiny bonanza, just a corpse and me
Five dGbollars an hour for flying dead bodies
I had to Dbclimb over their faces just to Abget to my seat
[Pre-Chorus]
And Gbsuddenly the wheels lift Dboff
The ground is falling Gbbackwards
I am suddenAbly alive
[Chorus]
BbmSuddenly I'm in the Abcockpit
GbSuddenly everything's changed
BbmSuddenly I'm not too Abyoung or too short
Gb   AbN.C.
And the passengers in the back don't complain
BbmSuddenly I'm flying Abcompany charters
GbSuddenly everything's high
Bbm   AbN.C. Db   Gb  Ab  
Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky
[Verse]
DbAmerican GbAirlineAbs had the prettiest Dbplanes
So I appGblied as a flight engineer
But the World War II Abpilots, they all complained
They said, "girls shouldn't Gbbe in the cockpit"
"Hey lady, hey baby, hey! DbWhy don't you grab us a drink?"
And the Gbflight attendants weren't my friends back then
Db   AbN.C.
And they said, "Are you better than us, do you think?"
[Pre-Chorus]
But GbI kept getting hired
And the AbWorld War II crew, they retired
Gb   AbN.C.
And the girls all thought much higher of me
1986 the first female AmeGbrican captain in Abhistory
[Chorus]
BbmSuddenly I'm in the Abcockpit
GbSuddenly I've got my wings
BbmSuddenly all of those Abpilots protested me
Gb   AbN.C.
Well they can get their own drinks!
BbmSuddenly there's no one Absaying "stay grounded"
GbLooking down, passing them by
Bbm   AbN.C. Db   Gb  Ab  
Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky
[Bridge]
Suddenly I've Abgot an all female crew
The news talked, it made Gbheadlines across the Abworld
Suddenly it Bbmstopped
No one saying, "You Abcan't" or "You won't"
Or "You Gbknow you're not anything Ab'cause you're a girl"
[Outro]
GbSuddenly I'm getting Abmarried
And we're putting Gbpins on the map where we've Abflown
GbSuddenly I am a Abmother
And suddenly Gbshocked at how much they've Abgrown
GbSuddenly I'm wondering how my Abparents would feel
Seeing me Gbteaching men to be Abpilots
'Cause Gbsuddenly I am a Absenior instructor and Bbmsomehow I'm 51
GbSuddenly I'm flying AbParis to Dallas
Across The GbAtlantic and feeling Abcalm
When Gbsuddenly someone on Abair to air traffic says
"At Gb8:46 there's been a Abterrorist action"
Gb   AbN.C. Bbm  
And the one thing I loved more than anything was used as the bomb
GbSuddenly I'm in a Abhotel
GbSuddenly something has Abdied
GbSuddenly there's something Abin between me and the skyDb
