Flying Home
Lee Roy Lyrics

We're sitting out here on the runway
We are currently waiting for the airplane to take off while sitting on the runway

Waiting for the plane to leave
We are waiting for the airplane to depart

And the captain says, "There'll be a short delay Bear with me, please"
The captain informs us that there will be a brief wait and requests us to be patient

They gave us the usual hassle "You can't take those guitars on board" But the boys in the band just smiled Heard it all before
We were told that we are not allowed to carry our guitars on the plane but the band remained calm since they had encountered similar situations before

And as they're starting to serve champagne To the folks at the front of the plane I can hear the engines roaring We're on our way
As the flight attendants begin serving champagne to the passengers in first class, I can hear the sound of the engine as we begin to take off

And we are flying home I feel the freedom in my soul Flying home at last Flying home I've got the freedom in my soul
We are finally headed home and I feel liberated and unencumbered, expressing through the lyrics that I able to completely free mind and soul

And it's four in the morning My world is calling Speeding through the universe tonight
Despite the early hour, I am elated that my journey is underway at this moment, I feel like we are speeding through the universe

The movie reminds of my lady As she waits, "Where are those guys?" Yes, it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky
The movie inspires thoughts of my beloved as she waits for me, Also it's nice to see familiar stars like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in the sky

And now the sun is beginning to rise It's like looking down on Paradise There's a ball of fire that's burning Giving life
As the sun begins to rise, it seems as if we are peering at paradise from our window, it's a picturesque view, and the sun represents the source of all life

And we are flying home I feel the freedom in my soul Flying home at last Flying home I've got the freedom in my soul
As we continue on our journey, my free-spirited mindset continues and I remain grateful to be headed home

And it's four in the morning My world is calling Speeding through the universe tonight
I realize it's an odd time of day, yet I can't prevent myself from feeling invigorated about our expedition that is taking us through the universe, despite being late at night
