Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
Meet me on the other side

[Human without the bean]

Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today's pain

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

The singer died last week if that helps.

I imagine that's Jimmy Buffet, but I don't recognize the song.

"I was 8 years old and running with a dime in my hand

To the bus stop to pick up the paper for my old man.

I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as he drove through town.

He'd tousle my hair and say "Son, take a good look around..."

[Human without the bean]

"Patches" by some country bumpkin.  If it is Patches, I think Jerry Reed may have covered it then .
