Next Flight Home by Troy Cartwright Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drivin' down 161, it's five in the morning
Got my stereo playin', my headlights on
Engine light is flashing, why, I don't know
But I'd hate to get stuck on the side
[Chorus]
I'll be on the next flight home, in your arms that's where I belong
And the city's grey, but it's you that makes me
Come around here, spend my time
[Verse 2]
And I know that you're burdened by my lifestyle
But I got dreams, they need tending, It might take me awhile
Hope you know I love you, and I'll always stay true
If it's ever too much for you
[Chorus]
I'll be on the next flight home, in your arms that's where I belong
And the city's grey, but it's you that makes me
Come around here, spend my time
[Verse 3]
I know it's not what you prefer, still I hope you understand
I'm stuck somewhere in-between
What I want and what I can't stand
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
If I could I would, dear, but you know I can't stay
I've got to keep on working, I've got dues I have to pay
When the night is over all my thoughts turn to you
And the next time I get a chance to
[Chorus]
I'll be on the next flight home, in your arms that's where I belong
And the city's grey, but it's you that makes me
Come around here, spend my time
My time
Drivin' down 161, it's five in the morning
Got my stereo playin', my headlights on
Engine light is flashing, why, I don't know
But I'd hate to get stuck on the side
[Chorus]
I'll be on the next flight home, in your arms that's where I belong
And the city's grey, but it's you that makes me
Come around here, spend my time
[Verse 2]
And I know that you're burdened by my lifestyle
But I got dreams, they need tending, It might take me awhile
Hope you know I love you, and I'll always stay true
If it's ever too much for you
[Chorus]
I'll be on the next flight home, in your arms that's where I belong
And the city's grey, but it's you that makes me
Come around here, spend my time
[Verse 3]
I know it's not what you prefer, still I hope you understand
I'm stuck somewhere in-between
What I want and what I can't stand
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
If I could I would, dear, but you know I can't stay
I've got to keep on working, I've got dues I have to pay
When the night is over all my thoughts turn to you
And the next time I get a chance to
[Chorus]
I'll be on the next flight home, in your arms that's where I belong
And the city's grey, but it's you that makes me
Come around here, spend my time
My time
