Curtis Eller's American Circus Amelia Earhart
Well the wind turned on Amelia just after sun-up
And this radio's been acting up all day
She disappeared in a cloudbank and the static never cleared
Well at least you never have to die this way
And they say she turned up again sometime in the 40's
Going by the name "Tokyo Rose"
Just a sweet voice on the airwaves floatin' out of Japan
But that doesn't seem too likely I suppose
And I wish I was Amelia Earhart
I wish I was Amelia Earhart
I wish I was Amelia Earhart
Like a tombstone worn smooth by the years
And I wish that I was Amelia Earhart
'Cause Charles Lindbergh lived his life in fears
Well the ones that stay too long run up on trouble
Like the Lindbergh Baby somewheres down the line
You know they'll bust into the house at night while everybody's sleepin'
And make off with that baby everytime
And I wish I was Amelia Earhart
I wish I was Amelia Earhart
I wish I was Amelia Earhart
Like a tombstone worn smooth by the years
And I wish that I was Amelia Earhart
'Cause Charles Lindbergh lived his life in fears
