Buck Owens - L.A. International Airport lyrics

Standing in that silent hall waiting for that final call Says he doesn't love me anymore Shaking hands I pack a bag trembling voice I call a cab Slowly I start walking to the door The cab arrives he blows his horn I stumble out in the early morn Tell him of a place I've got to go Hit a hundred signal lights theater belts in a traffic fight Getting through these doors has been so slow [Chorus:] L.A. International Airport Where the big jet engines roar L.A. International Airport I won't see him anymore A stewardess in a miniskirt a hippie in a leather shirt A starlet on the way to Naples Rome While I'm wondering where it's at I see a Paris diplomat College kids are trying to get back home Baggage car goes quickly by see my case and I start to cry Stumble to the lounge to be alone And while I'm trying to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best To fight the pain that's making me leave home [Chorus] With silver wings across the sky vapor trails that wave goodbye To those below who've got to stay at home I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight Rid myself of every tear I own Soaring high above the heavens in a 747 Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes Captain's voice so load and clear amplifies into my ear Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies [Chorus]
