Lyrics: Donna Devine


Frequent Flyer

I'm a frequent flyer, baby
Fly right into women's arms
I'm a frequent flyer, baby
I fly right into women's arms
I can drop my landin' gear
Can't do nothin' 'bout my charm

I told the gospel truth, darlin'
Now why you hatin' on me
I told the gospel truth, darlin'
Now why you hatin' on me
You were a fine stopover
But it's time to let it be

I said right from the start, girl
Just wanna have a little fun
I said it right from the start, girl
Just wanna have a little fun
I stay too long on the ground, babe
My engine's not gonna run

I'm a frequent flyer, baby
Fly right into women's arms
I'm a frequent flyer, baby
Fly right into women's arms, yeah
I can drop my landin' gear
Can't do nothin' 'bout my charm

Bridge
Lock up your hangar
Ain't stayin' that long
Got a one-way ticket to somewhere else
Maybe that's wro-o-o-ong

But I'm a frequent flyer, baby
I fly right into women's arms
I can drop my landin' gear
Can't do nothin' 'bout my charm

These really are blues lyrics, Donna. To write blues lyrics (well) and be original is hard to do.

The music is done so well I want to pick up my guitar and play. Ken really has got a cool vibe going on here almost Fun Loving Criminals meets Taj Mahal and that is music for the soul. It sounds like he's really enjoying singing and playing this. Ken really is a blues man.

top notch blues Donna!
groovy, bluesy and freaking cool. What a great song. The production is nothing less than professional. Very clear sound, amazing!!!

[Donna]

Billy and Holger, thanks for giving this a listen. 
I agree, Ken is a real blues man. 
Billy, a few other people have said that when they heard this they grabbed their guitar and jammed along. That's gotta be a good sign. 
Holger, I'm with you on 'freaking cool'. Every time I hear this, I have to stop what I'm doing and dance around the living room.
