THE RUNWAY

Grass Roots



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



CHORUS:

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



(chorus)
