[Verse 1]
Coffee in a thermo
Sun just crackin’ through
Name tag on my jacket
Same sky
Something new
Red tail in the mirror
Dust on my old boots
Never thought this little kid
Would grow into this view
[Chorus]
I’ve got RFDS in my blood
Every call sign
Feels like love
Grateful for the ground I leave behind
Every takeoff
Clears my mind
High above the red and blue
I remember why I do
What I do
Yeah
This pilot’s life
Feels right
Feels good
Got RFDS in my blood
[Verse 2]
Runway in the distance
Heartbeat in my ears
Family in a farmhouse
Counting on me up here
All those midnight textbooks
Highlight on every page
Turned into this right seat
Turned into this new stage
[Chorus]
I’ve got RFDS in my blood
Every call sign
Feels like love
Grateful for the ground I leave behind
Every takeoff
Clears my mind
High above the red and blue
I remember why I do
What I do
Yeah
This pilot’s life
Feels right
Feels good
Got RFDS in my blood
[Bridge]
Someday I’ll fly it cleaner
Smooth as painted lines
Little more calm in weather
Little more grace in time
But even while I’m learning
One thing’s already true
I’m just thankful for the honor
Of bringing hope to you
[Chorus]
I’ve got RFDS in my blood
Every call sign
Feels like love
Grateful for the ground I leave behind
Every takeoff
Clears my mind
High above the red and blue
I remember why I do
What I do
Yeah
This pilot’s life
Feels right
Feels good
Got RFDS in my blood (oh yeah)
Got RFDS in my blood
