Standing in this airport waiting all alone

Listening to the falling raindrops playing a lonely song

I didn't want to leave that girl, but I couldn't stay

But when the feeling's gone, you know it's gotta end just this way



Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly

Take me up and away, gonna find some better days

Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly

Leaving yesterday's sorrow, gonna chase tomorrow



When I step up on board this plane, I'll never look behind

I'll close my eyes and let the whining engines ease my mind

I may get off in Dallas, or go on to L.A.

But anyway, I've got some time to think a while along the way



Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly

Leaving yesterday's sorrow, I'm gonna chase tomorrow

Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly

Take me up and away I'm gonna find some better days.....
