Lyrics

IT'S FIVE THIRTY IN THE MORNING GIVE OR TAKE A MINUTE
I'M WAITING FOR A TAXI ANXIOUS TO GET IN IT
TO TAKE ME TO THE AIRPORT
AND GET ME ON AN EARLY PLANE
GOT TO FLY INTO AUSTIN THEN IT'S
BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN

THE BAND WENT ON AHEAD I HAD A DEAL TO TIE UP
THEY ALL WENT ON THE BUS SO I JUST HAD TO FLY UP
WE'LL COVER MOST OF TEXAS
THIRTY SHOWS IN FORTY DAYS
LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE
BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN

I CAN'T WAIT GET BACK ON THE STAGE
'COS AT MY AGE THERE'S NOT TOO MANY WAYS
YOU CAN RAGE
THERE'S NO BETTER WAY OF HAVING FUN
AT LEAST NOT ONE THAT'S BETTER
WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR CLOTHES ON
AT LEAST I CANNOT THINK OF ONE

I'LL GET ONTO THE CELL PHONE GOTTA HOLD IT STEADY
GOTTA CALL MY BABY I'M MISSING HER ALREADY
JUST KNOWING THAT SHE LOVES ME
IS THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME SANE
RUNNING UP A BIG 'PHONE BILL
BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN
