[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I'll take a coach seat to nowhere on a one-way, red-eyed flight
Before the sun comes up and all hell breaks loose tonight
You ol' burned-out, long-haired, lyin', drinkin' love of my life, yeah
Come this time tomorrow, I'll be long gone on a "red-eye" flight
Woo
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, 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
[Verse 4]
Ten years of sweet talk hangin' in the 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 no more
[Chorus]
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 ol' burned-out, long-haired, lyin', drinkin' love of my life, yeah
Come this time tomorrow, I'll be long gone on a "red-eye" flight
[Outro]
Come this time tomorrow, I'll be long gone on a "red-eye" flight
