Big clouds rolling by
Taking up spaces
Around the corner of an eye
In our great friendly sky
On radio news wherever I drive

Pennies from heaven
Keep falling on purpose
They'll hit the right houses
And we'll all join the circus

And we'll be clouds rolling by
Clouds rolling by
Clouds rolling by

Good boys in demand
Soldiers of fortune
Some groomed in the sand
They're all part of the plan
Practice for years
Get to do what you can

With the girls on the ground
The boys wanna go high
You'll shut up and learn
And you might get to fly

And we'll be clouds rolling by
Clouds rolling by
Clouds rolling by

What would you do
What if they came out
For me and you
And how fast can you run
And a coward like me
Would I pick up a gun

And join in a struggle
Among chosen few
When there's too many
It is nothing new

It is just clouds rolling by
Clouds rolling by
Clouds rolling by
