He stepped out of the bar and into the street
When a hot air balloon swept him off his feet.
He wondered to himself, 
Where the hell did that come from?
But he made the sign of the cross and prayed to Kingdom Come
Son-of-a-bitch, he swore
Holy Hell, he cried
As he and that balloon rose higher in the sky
Is this fate or is it a dream?
He hung onto the basket and let out a scream
His partner came running, pulling out his gun
He took a couple drunken shots but that balloon Was too far gone
Here I go
I'm on my way
I may not last another day
I'll be fine, don't fret for me
With a little luck, I'll make it to the sea

He felt the air get thinner, the higher that he rose
He saw the backs of buzzards circling below
He climbed into the basket when he gave a mighty heave
He started to enjoy the ride and felt a sense of peace
He figured he was safe, 'til he saw a toothy grin
There was a grizzly bear straight across from him
I'm not here to harm you., he growled through his teeth
I'm just here to take you home and offer you relief.
If you can only face your fears and take me by the paw,
I'll show you to the kingdom where the turquoise water falls.

Hand and paw united
He was crushed by the embrace
He smelled the earth and tasted sky
As he let go the human race
  
Here I go
I'm on my way
Though I didn't last another day
I'll be fine, don't fret for me
With a little luck, I'll make it to the sea
