Lyrics[]
I was makin' my descent, to the old "BNA"
At gate number three, Concourse A
And on my radar, there I saw
A wide-body jet make me pitch and yaw
My runway romance
At gate number three
My runway romance, she runs
Away from me!
She was clearly first class, and I was coach
With stabilizers on, still made my approach
Then turbulence hit, to lay, to evolve
And when the weather cleared, she done took off
My runway romance
At gate number three
My runway romance, she runs
Away from me!
She said that I had too much baggage
And she was traveling light
And she has reservations
So she went, and canceled our flight!
(Instrumental)
My runway romance
At gate number three
My runway romance, she runs
My runway romance, so quick to the part
My runway romance, the wind and out of my heart!
