Taking the Red-Eye Home Written by - Suzy Bogguss & Doug Crider Half empty airport Plane's at the gate They tell her it's full But she says she'll wait She's been here all evenin' Sittin' all alone Watchin' the businessmen Talk on the phone She fixes her makeup Cleans out her purse Leavin' is hard But stayin' is worse Just for a moment It crosses her mind She could go back No not this time 'Cause... It's almost midnight And they just called her name She's on that last flight Now nothin's the same Her ticket says standby But she can stand on her own She's all through cryin' Now she's flyin' Takin' that red-eye home Sittin' in smokin' And she doesn't smoke A travelin' salesman Tells her a joke She just stares out the window As they're packin' that jet Not quite sad But she's not laughin' yet It's almost midnight And they just called her name She's on that last flight Now nothin's the same Her ticket says standby But she can stand on her own She's all through cryin' Now she's flyin' Takin' that red-eye home It's just 11:54 But it's a new day They're startin' to board She's flyin' away It's almost midnight And they just called her name She's on that last flight Now nothin's the same Her ticket says standby But she can stand on her own She's all through cryin' Now she's flyin' Takin' that red-eye home All through cryin' She's flyin' Takin' that red-eye home |
