Biography

Rock band from Champaign, Illinois, USA. They named the band [a254406], from the REO Speed Wagon, a 1915 truck that was designed by [b]R[/b]ansom [b]E[/b]li [b]O[/b]lds. Doughty had seen the name written across the blackboard when he walked into his History of Transportation class on the very first day they had decided to look for a name. Rather than pronouncing [b]REO[/b] as a single word as the motor company did, they chose to spell out the name with the individual letters each pronounced [b]("R-E-O")[/b]. Formed in 1967, the band cultivated a following during the 1970s and achieved significant commercial success throughout the 1980s. [Link] (1980) contained four US Top 40 hits and is the group's best-selling album, with over ten million copies sold.

LYRICS

I was sittin' on a plane, I was lookin' at the dreary day
I saw somebody, she was sittin' just an aisle away
She was a first class lady, and I knew that she looked refined
My heart started thumpin' louder than the engine whine
I got the sky blues-- I'm up in the air
Runnin' from a lady who just don't care
And all I wanna do is get down to earth with you
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, I got the sky blues
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, I got the sky blues

Well, I sat down beside her and I told her I was feeling blue
I said, "My girl don't want me and it's breaking my heart in two"
Well I felt so bad that I didn't even stick around. I said,
"We may be flying but heart's draggin' on the ground."
