Lonely’s Leaving Town

There's an old man waiting
By the airport gate
He keeps checking on the screen
It says no delays

He still can't believe
His baby girl's coming home
Said she wanted to move back
Now that mama's gone

Living all alone
He's barely felt alive
But all that's gonna change
When he sees the word arrive

[Chorus]
Lonely's leaving town
Love is coming in
'cause the next plane touching down
Is bringing someone back again
And the answer to a prayer
Is coming right out of the clouds
And all the sleepless nights
And empty days are over now
'cause lonely's leaving town

There are banners a wavin'
And american flags
And new mama's pointin' up
There comes your dad
They didn't want to leave
But they were glad to go
Cause freedom said i need you
And not one said no
Tonight there'll be no talking
About the war
But doing lots of holdin' on
To what they've been fighting for

[Chorus]

And the answer to a prayer
Is coming right out of the clouds
And all the sleeplesl nights
And empty days are over now
'cause lonely's leaving town

[Chorus]
