Big Silver Jet

It's three a.m. and I can't sleep when mornin' comes he'll fly
On shiny wings away from me and touch the mornin' sky
Time is passing way too fast all I can do is cry
And when he leaves I know a part of me will die

That big silver jet on the runway
Bet it's gonna leave on time
It hurts to know that my baby's on it
I think I'm really gonna lose my mind

I watched it as it rose above the tall trees
Left a vapor trail as far as I could see
There goes my life and everything that matters
For the first time it's taken you from me
[ instrumental ]
It never crossed my mind one time that you would really leave me
I guess I was so blinded by love that you deceived me
Now that you're leavin you may be free
That's something that I will never be

That big silver jet on the runway
Bet it's gonna leave on time
It hurts to know that my baby's on it
I think I'm really gonna lose my mind

I watched it as it rose above the tall trees
Left a vapor trail as far as I could see
There goes my life and everything that matters
For the first time it's taken you from me
