This song is about the skyjacker DB Cooper who got away with $200,000 after jumping out of a plane with parachute.
lyrics
I’m packing a suitcase filled with nothing
A bunch of wires, a timer that starts at zero
Sunday’s best suit is neat and pressed
My shades are dark and my clip on tie is straight
They can never guess my intentions
Trying to make a quick buck and go
Yeah I’m boarding the plane
Yeah I’m taking my seat
Yeah I order my drink
Yeah I’m passing the note
Excuse me attendant, read my note
Take the note to the pilot, time to descend now
I won’t harm anyone but please don’t tempt me
Tell the cops I want my money
But when the plane lands, everybody run now
Back into the sky we all go
Yeah I’m counting my cash
Yeah I’m leaving my seat
Yeah I open the door
Yeah I’m leaving the plane
