I’ve been playing around with AI a little too much.
Well, here’s something I think you might like. A tribute to my friend, Derek, aka ‘Big Red!’
Lyrics
Big Red, he’s always been the one,
In the hangar, dreamin’ of the sky and the sun.
In high school, we thought he’d fix up cars,
But he traded wrenches for a plane’s handlebars.
Now he’s flyin’ high with Alaska’s finest crew,
Captain of the skies, and he’s made it through.
From a kid in grade school to a man in command,
Now he’s up there, steering planes with steady hands.
Big Red’s the captain, he’s livin’ the dream,
Flying free, like a bird, or a jetstream.
CrossFit keeps him strong, cigars keep him cool,
And if he calls you up, it’s ’cause he’s got time to fool.
Oh, Big Red’s got wings and a story to tell,
From layovers to the skies, he’s flyin’ so well.
He don’t just sit at the cockpit, watchin’ the clouds,
He’s the first to tell you that he’s feelin’ so proud.
He can do push-ups with a plane in his sights,
And if you need a lift, he’ll get you to new heights.
He’s got his license, and he’s flyin’ for free,
Layovers turn into visits with old friends, you see.
From coast to coast, he’s got stories to share,
From the runway to the cigar smoke in the air.
Big Red’s the captain, he’s livin’ the dream,
Flying free, like a bird, or a jetstream.
CrossFit keeps him strong, cigars keep him cool,
And if he calls you up, it’s ’cause he’s got time to fool.
Oh, Big Red’s got wings and a story to tell,
From layovers to the skies, he’s flyin’ so well.
From the mechanic’s shop to the skies so wide,
He’s the man with the plan, always on the rise.
Big Red, he’s got a heart of gold,
Flying high, watchin’ his story unfold.
Big Red’s the captain, he’s livin’ the dream,
Flying free, like a bird, or a jetstream.
CrossFit keeps him strong, cigars keep him cool,
And if he calls you up, it’s ’cause he’s got time to fool.
Oh, Big Red’s got wings and a story to tell,
From layovers to the skies, he’s flyin’ so well.
Here’s another version because I don’t know when to stop!
