Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, sing

[Verse 2]

So, presently I'm standing

Here right now, you're so demanding

Tell me what you want from me, concluding

Concentrating on my music, lover and my babies

Make me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town

[Verse 3]

So can get a window seat? (Hey)

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a ticket outta town

A look around and a safe touch down

Can I get a window seat? (Oh, oh)

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a chance to fly

A chance to cry and a long bye-bye

[Verse 4]

Whoa, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 5]

But I, I need you to want me

I need you to miss me

I, I need your attention, yes

I need you next to me

Oh, I, I need someone to clap for me

I need your direction

[Verse 6]

Somebody say come back

Come back, baby, come back

I want you to need me

Come back, come back, baby, come back

Baby, come back, come back, baby, come back

Come back, come back, baby, come back

[Verse 7]

So out my mind I'm tusslin'

Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'

I don't wanna time travel no mo'

I wanna be here

I'm thinking, so on this porch I'm rockin'

Back and forth light Lightning Hopkins

If anybody speak to Scotty

Tell him, "Beam me up"

[Verse 8]

So can I get a window seat? (Hey)

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a ticket outta town

A look around and a safe touch down

Can I get a window seat? (Oh, oh)

Don't want nobody next to me

See I just want a chance to fly

A chance to cry and a long bye-bye

[Verse 9]

Oh, oh, oh

Mmm, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mmm, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 10]

But I, I need you to miss me

I need somebody, come get me

Ooh, I, sing, I need your attention, yes

And I need your energy

And I do, oh, oh, I need, I need someone to clap for me

And I need your direction

[Verse 11]

Somebody say come back

Come back, baby, come back

(I want you to need me)

Come back, come back, baby, come back

Come back, so come back, baby, come back

Come look for me, say

Come back, come back, baby, come back

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 12]

So can I get a window seat?

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a ticket outta town

A look around and a safe touch down

[Verse 13]

Oh, oh, ah, ah, hey

I just want a chance to fly

A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
