  • We once had things in common
    Now the only thing we share is the refrigerator
    Ice cold, baby, I told you, I'm ice cold (ice cold)
    You out here flyin' high (high)
    Go head, fly that thing
    High, high
    But fly alone

    You always smokin' in the house
    What if my mother comes over?
    You can't get up and get a job
    'Cause this little hustle's getting you by
    You're the dealer and the stoner with the sweetest kiss I've ever known

    I know what I was on, I had a Pilot Jones (what you know about him?)
    She took me high (oh, did she now?)
    Then she took me home (you talkin' 'bout?)
    Pilot Jones, Pilot Jones

    Tonight she came stumblin' across my lawn again
    I just don't know why I keep on tryin' to keep a grown woman sober
    See there you go reachin' up your blouse and no I don't want a child
    But I ain't been touched in a while by the dealer
    And the stoner with the sweetest kiss I've ever known

    I knew what I was on (ever known), I had a Pilot Jones (we'll fly, fly, fly)
    (What you know about love?)
    She took me high ('til we can't fly)
    (Oh, did she now?)
    Then she took me home (talkin' 'bout?)
    Pilot Jones, Pilot Jones

    In the sky up above, the birds
    I saw the sky like I never seen before
    You thought I was above you
    Above this in so many ways
    But if I got a condo on a cloud
    Then I guess you can stay at my place
    Ooh-ooh, I'ma get one
    Mm-hmm, I need ya
    I admit it
    You're my Pilot Jones Writer/s: Christopher Breaux, Robert Shea Taylor
