He was a city boy, me
Me I was his pride and joy
But she came in between
She was a Hollywood dream
Flight 309 to Tennessee
Hold back that airplane for me
Ticket maker make a ticket out
'Cause I'm about to leave behind me
The kind of love a girl can do without
I'm going where he'll never find me
On flight 309 to Tennessee
Hold back that airplane for me
I've seen enough of these city lights
The party types the endless talking
In the middle of a sleepless night
I'm up, I'm down alone and walking away
He tried to make me stay
Me I nearly gave way
But she came in between
She was a Hollywood dream
Flight 309 to Tennessee
Hold back that airplane for me
Ticket maker make a ticket out
'Cause I'm about to leave behind me
The kind of love a girl can do without
I'm going where he'll never find me
On flight 309 to Tennessee
Hold back that airplane for me
I've seen enough of these city lights
The party types the endless talking
In the middle of a sleepless night
I'm up, I'm down alone and walking away
