American Airman

Telephone
Call from home
Just to say hello
Got to catch a plane
I can't explain
The car is waiting down below

Somebody get my suitcase
It's nearly all I own
I'm a drummer man in a country band
And man, I wanna go home

New town
Look around
Tryin' to find a friendly face
Sure feel
Like I need a meal
But there's no time to leave this place

Sound test in a concert hall
I think an amp is blown
I'm a drummer man in a country band
And man, I wanna go home

Oh, my Red, play

Yeah, flight two
And it's back to you
So I set my watch on L.A. time
Jet-lag
Find my bag
I think the one over there is mine

It's ten pounds overweight
But it's holdin' all I own
I'm a drummer man in a country band
And man, I'm glad to be home
