Paul Revere & The Raiders - The Great Airplane Strike lyrics

Artist: Paul Revere & The Raiders

album: Good Thing: The Best of Paul Revere & The Raiders


I was down in L.A. town when our manager said jump
I threw my clothes and my saxophone in a two-by-four bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport and I ran to the ticket line
Man said son you coulda saved the run, those airplanes just quit flyin
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway's going to be my home
Mm hmm
I ran through the terminal building, went to fly by my airline
The man said I could ride the wing and I said that was fine
He said, "I've confirmed your reservation and put the plane on hold"
He come back and said, "Sorry, but that wing space just been sold"
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway's going to be my home
I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire
Threw on lots of paper and the flames kept getting higher
The janitor come running in, so scared his face was white
So I explained my situation, he said, "That's all right"
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway's going to be my home
Next day I thought that I would leave so I packed my things again
I waited fourteen hours for a taxi to come in
Spotted one that wasn't full and I threw myself in fast
Driver said, "I'm sorry but this taxi's out of gas"
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway's going to be my home
