The Great Airplane Strike Paul Revere & The Raiders I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said "Jump" I threw my cloths and my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk I pushed it to the airport and run to the ticket line Man said "Son, you could have save the run, those airplanes just quit flyin' the flames kept gettin' higher The janitor come runnin' in, so scared his face was white So, I explained my situation, he said: Thats all right If I can't leave here, I just might stay And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed my thing again Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in Spotted one that wasn't full and I threw myself in fast The driver said "Im sorry but this taxi's out of gas" If I cant leave here, I just might stay And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home |
