I got my brand new X-Wing
right off the a**embly line
White, 'n with that streak of red
I loved to hear the engine whine.
Me and some guys from home
we shot womp rats out in my backyard
Deak just quit, Windy got drafted
Biggs was blown into a million shards.
But flying over the d**h Star
I thought that he would last forever
and when I heard old Ben
I knew that it was now or never
that was the best shot of my life.
I got trained but my friends were in trouble
so I had a job to do
I flew to Cloud City on Bespin-
an' that's when I met you, yeah!
Duelling there among the clouds
you told me that we'd rule forever
and when you cut off my hand
I knew that I would join you never!
that was the worst day of my life.
Oh yeah!
Back in the reign of Palpatine
Oh!
I had to go get Han from Jabba's palace,
the poor guy was sick and blind-
I thought Yoda would last forever, forever, Oh!
I fought you again above Endor
Your boss, he tried to make me mad.
I said no, so then he tried to k** me
That's when you really came through, Dad.
Standing with him held up high
You threw him and he fell forever.
People would say it was me, but
I knew that we did it together.
That was the best day of my life.
Oh yeah!
Back in the reign of Palpatine
uh huh..
It was the reign of Palpatine..
