I've been a brother to sorrow I've been surrounded by gloom 'Cause this hotel's got hot & cold runnin' Heartache in every room Checkin' out of here in the mornin' Even that will be too much time I'm gonna get up on a big white bird Waitin' after you with a line Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you If I have to beg, steal or borrow I'll be seein' you, girl, tomorrow Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you TV's gonna get to me Haven't heard a bit of good news Who needs that when I'm sittin' here chewin' I'm goin' struttin' in blues I threw 'way to wake me at 7 Don't you wait a minute too long I'm gonna leave with a one-way ticket Goin' back to where I belong
