[Verse 1]
I bought a brand new air mobile
It was custom made
It was a Flight Deville
With an outboard motor
And some hideaway wings
Push in on the button and you can hear her sing

[Chorus]
Now you cannot catch me
No, baby, you cannot catch me
Cause if you get too close
You know I am gone like a cool breeze

[Verse 2]
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rolling slowly cause of drizzling' showers
Up come a flattop he was moving up with me
Then come sailing goodbye
In a little old supped up mini
I put my foot in my tank and I begin to roll
Moaning sirens, was the state patrol
So I get out my wings and then I blew my horn
Bye-bye New Jersey I become airborne

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Flying with my baby last Saturday night
Was no gray cloud floating in sight
Big full moon shining up above
Cuddle up honey be my love
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen
I am going to name you Maybelline
Flying with all the things set on flight control
Radio tuned to rock and roll
Two, three hours passing by
Altitude dropped to 505
Fuel consumption way too fast
Let us get on home before we run out of gas

[Chorus]

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
