Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The winds start to pick up, 50 mile an hour winds
We've been here too long
We're still on the ground, there's a hurricane coming
And I'm thinking, we're running out of time
We have to leave, we have to leave now
[Verse 2]
1 plane then another and then
9 planes then another and then
13 planes then another (13 planes)
22, 24, 29, 32, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 30, 30, 30, 38
[Verse 3]
Ladies and gentlemen if you look out your windows
Underneath all that rain is Maine
We've just crossed the Canadian border
Welcome back to the US of A
Looking out the window and the world underneath
And though he's here next to me, any second he'll go
Looking out the window, Kevin talk to me please
And out the window we see a place we all know below
[Verse 4]
Is this on, oh, it's on, sorry everyone, hi
Like most everyone, I am sorry saying goodbye
So I wanted to thank them
For all that they've did
So I'm doing just that
And I'm passing a hat for the people who gave up their time and
They gave up their town. so let's give them a scholarship
Pass the hat down 'cause
[Verse 5]
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where
There you'll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You've found your heart and left a part of you behind
[Verse 6]
Nick and I sit together and I just, I  wanna say something
But we're leaving, and it's over
And then she starts crying, and I don't know what to say
So I just put my arm around her and I go to kiss her
On the forehead to comfort her
Well there was some turbulence
And honestly, I just thought he missed, so I
[Verse 7]
Ladies and gentlemen if you look out your windows
You won't want to miss this, we just entered Texas
[Verse 8]
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows, who knows
There you'll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You've found your heart but left a part of you behind
[Verse 9]
Everyone's drinking and comparing stories
Where'd you stay, what'd you do?
But mostly Nick and I spent the plane ride home
Canoodling in the back
At one point a flight attendant comes around saying
Hot towel, hot towel, cold towel?
[Verse 10]
Somewhere in between the pace of life and work
And where you're going
Something makes you stop and notice
And you're finally in the moment
[Verse 11]
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where
There you'll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You've found your heart but left a part of you behind
[Verse 12]
Ladies and gentlemen put your seats back and tray tables up
Right below us is the city where I grew up
Comin' 'round, pass the field and then the wheels touch the ground
Taxi in we're all cheering we're down
Thanking everyone, thank you for flying American
Hugging them, hugging my crew 'cause we're home again
Pass the gate up the stairs, and we're there!
And he's waiting in the line
No I'm fine, tom, I'm fine
