There's a sweet wind blowing through the desert tonight
Can't you hear those semis roar
I'll be gone before the edge of morning finds the light
I can't give you what I gave before
Memory is the buried treasure of the mind
I remember how it felt from the start
I'm leaving the scene, let the blues wash me clean
And I'm sorry about your broken heart
I'll take a coach seat to nowhere
On a one-way, red eye flight
Before the sun comes up and hell breaks loose tonight
You ole' burned out long haired, lying, drinkin' love of my life
Come this time tomorrow I'll be long gone on a red eye flight
I don't know who you think you are but I sure know who I ain't
And I don't give a damn who you think you am but you sure as hell ain't no saint
Ten years of sweet talk hangin in air, lyin like a dog on the floor
This won't be the last time that you crash and burn but I ain't gonna be here anymore
I'll take a coach seat to nowhere
On a one-way, red eye flight
Before the sun comes up and all hell breaks loose tonight
You ole' burned out long haired, lying, drinkin' love of my life
Come this time tomorrow I'll be long gone on a red eye flight
Come this time tomorrow I'll be long gone on a red eye flight
