Lyrics
The Airplane Home
© Gregory Patzner/Sharlene Ayestaran-Phantom Roc Music Co. (ASCAP) 2005
(Chorus)
I missed the airplane home
A pretty little girl I met last night
The Airplane home,
Now everything?s gonna be alright.
(Verse 1)
Tired of workin' and doin? this overtime
Needed to get free, so I left this place behind
My love life was draggin?, my boss was in my face
So I packed my bags and took an island break
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Two weeks on the beach, the hotties were fine
Cracking coconuts and mixing limes
Doin? the limbo and waxing my board
Strumming my guitar on the island shore
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Last night at the hotel, I dreaded going home
This pretty girl said ?Hey mon, don?t drink alone
She joined me for a jamba juice, we partied until dawn
When I finally awoke to see my airplane was gone
(Chorus)
(Verse 4)
"No need to leave so soon" she said
There's plenty of limes left, you're not dead
Just want to party all night long
You've got to remember all the old times are gone
(Chorus) X4
