Let Him Fly Video (MV)

(Patty Griffin)
We were drinking like the Irish but we were drinking scotch
bartender turns on a movie, everybody turned to watch
and every single eye was gleaming when they reached the final scene
well at least mine did, here's looking at you kid
You know it's a mad mission under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it to the loving cup
It's a mad mission but I got the ambition
mad, mad mission sign me up
I think I've seen the look before, yes, it's kind of non-committal
it says come hither baby but then he's hard wood to whittle
he says it don't mean a thing but still somehow it does
he'd like you to join the club that likes to say
there's no such thing as love
It's a mad mission under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it to the loving cup
It's a mad mission but I got the ambition
mad, mad mission sign me up
sometimes you find yourself flying low at night
flying blind and looking for any sign of light
you're cold and scared and all alone
you'd do anything just make it home
It's a mad mission under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it to the loving cup
It's a mad mission but I got the ambition
mad, mad mission sign me up
sign me up
