I've been a brother to sorrow
I've been surrounded by gloom
Cause this hotels 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

TVs 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
