northwest 222

Im a strummin fool out in the sticks
For the glory and the bread
And youre wise enough to let me sing
This music in my head.
And if theres any way to get there
Strumming head on out
I go driven hard to pick up old 222 en route.
But now theyve gone and cancelled
Old Northwest 222
Its a late night bird that always brought me back home to you
Theres a thousand miles between us
Babe that
I cannot get through
Is there nothing left to count on, now
That old 222 is gone?
Old 222 is gone .
My guitar bouncin on my shoulder, my
Ticket in my hand
Im runnin on the ramp on board,
I just Made it again
Pull pillows down and a blanket and
I Stretch out cross the seat
Yes Im racked our, winging homeward
Where I got this dream to keep
But now theyve gone and cancelled
Old Northwest 222
Its a late night bird that always brought me back home to you
Theres a thousand miles between us
Babe that
I cannot get through
Is there nothing left to count on, now
That old 222 is gone?
Old 222 is gone.
Minneapolis at 1
AM Chicago at 3
Its Detroit at 5 the its
New York City
Where shes waitin for me
And I come chargin off the jet way the
Dream is in my eyes
When I see you there at curbside babe
Im kissin you at sunrise
Yes you brought the van to get me.
Sometime when the plane is late
We would find a placefor parking
When the lovin would not wait
But now theyve gone and cancelled
Old Northwest 222
Its a late night bird that always brought me back home to you
Theres a thousand miles between us
Babe that
I cannot get through
Is there nothing left to count on, now
That old 222 is gone?
Old 222 is gone.
