Lyrics
(v1)
Where the rubber meets the road
There’s no room for mistakes
Every landing needs to be more than OK
But in simulator mode
I have a button for re-takes
And their hard landings can always be re-played
(chorus)
Two pilots in training
Always competing
Only one can be ace of the base
Two pilots flying
Both of them trying
To keep up as I quicken the pace
(v2)
Heavy winds and rain
I can dial up at will
But the object isn’t to make them both sweat
Our goal is to train
There’s no magic pill
But in here their mistakes I reset
(chorus)
Two pilots in training
Always competing
Only one can be ace of the base
Two pilots flying
Both of them trying
To keep up as I quicken the pace
(bridge)
The crosswinds get stronger
The hours seem longer
The airplane’s a handful
And finally they’re thankful
(v3)
When this session is done
And they pack up their charts
One of them might brag a bit
But the braggin’s just for fun
If they’ve both scored high marks
And they’ve stored these lessons in their kits
