Lyrics
He was gonna meet me here tonight
But I'm guessing there was no flight
After 20 years, he probably couldn't leave
And with Four hours of sitting here
Downing overpriced airport beer
I'm figuring out my next web to weave
Seems it always ends up this way, but hey
cutie why you sittin so far away
Bet there's trouble we could get into
For a couple hours, just me and you
We could get a room across the street
And slide right in between those sheets
The road to heaven didn't go so well
So tonight, I need a back-up ride to hell
Now I don't see no wedding ring
And you're here alone, So here's the thing
In the morning, I won't care who you are
Don't try to chat, it'll just be boring
And in a while, when I'm snoring
Just grab your clothes and get on out the door
Seems it always ends up this way, but hey
cutie why you sittin so far away
Bet there's trouble we could get into
For a couple hours, just me and you
We could get a room across the street
And slide right in between those sheets
The road to heaven didn't go so well
So tonight, I need a back-up ride to hell
You've got to go and catch your plane?
Oh Geez, well that's a shame
I was really hoping this would go my way
Oh wait, look over there
That guy with the long blonde hair
Hey, cutie, why ya sittin so far away
Seems it always ends up this way, but hey
cutie why you sittin so far away
Bet there's trouble we could get into
For a couple hours, just me and you
We could get a room across the street
And slide right in between those sheets
The road to heaven didn't go so well
So tonight, I need a back-up ride to hell
