2nd VERSE 
 
Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go 
But I'm stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow 
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train 
So I best be on my way in the early morning rain

3rd VERSE 
 
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high 
She's away and westward bound, for above my home she'll fly 
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shine 
She'll be flying pass my home in about three hours time 
 
 
Repeat 1st VERSE
