Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even
begin.
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
(Really flying) it stretches
out far as the eye can see.
I can see.
Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords
and attempting to sleep,
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a
seat.
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather
be a thousand miles away.
Thousand miles away.
Working for yourself sometimes ain't all
that it's cracked up to be.
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate
tree
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say ?
(Really flying) I might
arrive but I'll be gone the very next day.
I must be on my way
A thousand miles
away.
Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to make sense
Out of all
those opportunities I've lost from trying to sit on the fence
(Now you're flying) But right now
I've got no time for yesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away.
A thousand
miles away.
What was that that you were trying to say ?
I guess I was a thousand miles
away.
Sing it again.
