People, I was sittin' this mornin' with this on my mind Said there ain't no livin' man who gone around the world three times John Glenn done it, 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 school house 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'm gonna turn out to be one [Incomprehensible] I see him when he left but I didn't see him when he land But I know he was doin' all right when they said, "It is okay 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 gonna 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 [Incomprehensible] helicopter You know they tested that boy's body, they even test his heart They know 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 And he made up and had it on his mind That's what he had on his mind He didn't have no kid and he didn't have no digs He just had it on his mind flyin'
