[D] Standing in that silent hall; Waitin' for that final call
Says he doesn't love me any-[A7] more
Shakin' hands, I pack a bag; Tremblin' voice, I call a cab
Slowly I start walkin' through the [D] door;
The cab arrives, he [D6] blows his horn
I [Dmaj7] stumble out in the [D6] early morn'
[D] Tell him of the place I've got to [A7] go
Hit a hundred signal lights; Peterbilts in a traffic fight
Gettin' to these doors has been so [D] slow. ... [P]
CHORUS
L.A. International [G] Airport
[A7] Where the big jet engines [D] roar
L.A. International [Em] Airport [Em7]
[A7] I won't see him any-[D] more.
Stewardess in a mini-skirt; Hippie in a leather shirt
Starlet on her way to Naples; Rome
While I'm wonderin' where it's at; I see a Paris diplomat
College kids are tryin' to get back home;
Baggage car goes quickly by; See my case and I start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
And while I'm tryin' to get some rest; I bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's makin' me leave home.
CHORUS
With Silver wings across the sky; Vapor trails that wave goodbye
To those below who've got to stay at home
I wish that I had flown at night; So I could take that Champagne flight
Rid myself of every tear I own;
Soaring high above the heavens; In a seven-forty-seven
Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
Captain's voice so loud and clear; Amplifies into my ear
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies.
