Select language to translate this lyric
Iâm stuck out in Detroit and the skyâs a deepest gray
A full day in an airport, with another plane delay
Well thereâs flaming hot dogs and coffee stall,
And people pass by car,
But Iâve only got and I know it wonât go far
Bound in like a prisoner, with the inmates passing me by
All bound for some destination somewhere through the sky
James Galwayâs coming through my earphones heâs easing up this pain
As I watch another plane delayed by the bloody pouring rain.
Chorus:
And I wished I was in Burlington, with the people that I know,
And I wished I was in Burlington, down in Lake Ontario.
I should be playing on the stage at 9 or 10 oâclock,
With the thunder passing overhead as the plane begins to dock
Iâm thinking to myself, it wonât be long âtil weâre away
The plane gets redirected, now itâs gone out to L.A.
Chorus
Itâs half way now âtil midnight and I finally made it here,
Iâm tired, and Iâm hungry and Iâm thristinâ for a beer,
The gig has long since been and gone, the moon is shining bright,
And an empty invitation says come back some other night.
