Standing in this airport waiting all alone Listening to the falling raindrops playing a lonely song I didn't want to leave that girl, but I couldn't stay But when the feeling's gone, you know it's gotta end just this way Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Take me up and away, gonna find some better days Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Leaving yesterday's sorrow, gonna chase tomorrow When I step up on board this plane, I'll never look behind I'll close my eyes and let the whining engines ease my mind I may get off in Dallas, or go on to L.A. But anyway, I've got some time to think a while along the way Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Leaving yesterday's sorrow, I'm gonna chase tomorrow Run the engines up high, get her ready to fly Take me up and away I'm gonna find some better days.....
