I'm for Estrella War flying,
Because I'm too lazy to drive.
I'm for Estrella War flying;
I'd rather spend money, and get there alive.

The drive's 30 hours when made from Three Rivers,
So I've got a friend bringing most of my gear.
While they are driving through snow in the mountains,
I'm flying coach drinking imported beer.

I'm for Estrella War flying,
Because I'm to lazy to drive.
I'm for Estrella War flying;
I'd rather spend money, and get there alive.

I've got my shield in a garment bag hanging,
My polearm and swords in a bag labled 'skis'.
I'll check those bags, and a few hours later,
I disembark to a warm Phoenix breeze.

I'm for Estrella War flying,
Because I'm to lazy to drive.
I'm for Estrella War flying;
I'd rather spend money, and get there alive.

I've heard the drive there is fraught with adventure;
Ice on the windshield, or sun in your eyes.
Long hours staring at endless horizons,
And too many meals made of burgers and fries.

I'm for Estrella War flying,
Because I'm to lazy to drive.
I'm for Estrella War flying;
I'd rather spend money, and get there alive.

While they were packing the van for the ride home,
I checked my bags and then took to the air.
In some little town they were caught in a speed trap,
The fine that they paid would have covered air fare.

Final Chorus: So we're for Estrella War flying,
Because its too damn far to drive.
We're for Estrella War flying.
We'll all spend the money, and get there alive.
