"Red Eye Flight" lyrics

"Red Eye Flight"

There's a sweet wind blowing through the desert tonight
Can't you hear those semis roar?
I'll be gone before the edge of morning finds the light
I can't give you what I gave before

Memory is the buried treasure of the mind
I remember how it felt from the start
I'm leaving the scene, let the blues wash me clean
And I'm sorry about your broken heart

I'll take a coach seat to nowhere on a one-way, red-eyed flight
Before the sun comes up and all hell breaks loose tonight
You ol' burned-out, long-haired, lyin', drinkin' love of my life, yeah
Come this time tomorrow, I'll be long gone on a "red-eye" flight

Woo

Well, I don't know who you think you are
But I sure know who I ain't
And I don't give a damn who you think you am
But you sure as hell ain't no saint

Ten years of sweet talk hangin' in the air
Lyin' like a dog on the floor
This won't be the last time that you crash and burn
But I ain't gonna be here no more

I'll take a coach seat to nowhere on a one-way, "red-eye" flight
Before the sun comes up and all hell breaks loose tonight
You ol' burned-out, long-haired, lyin', drinkin' love of my life, yeah
Come this time tomorrow, I'll be long gone on a "red-eye" flight

Come this time tomorrow, I'll be long gone on a "red-eye" flight
