Lyrics

[Chorus]
Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flying down to Houston
With forgetting her the nature of my flight
[Verse 1]
As we taxi toward the runway with the smog and haze reminding me
Of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learning that the pitfalls of the city
Are extremely real
All the nightlife and parties, temptation and deceit
The order of the day
Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, 'cause I'm leaving, baby
Somewhere in LA
[Chorus]
Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flying down to Houston
With forgetting her the nature of my flight
[Instrumental]
Well, our golden jet is airborne and Flight 50 cuts a path
Across the morning sky
And a voice comes through the speaker reassuring us Flight 50
Is the way to fly
And a hostess takes our order, coffee, tea or something stronger
To start off the day
Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, 'cause I'm leaving, baby
Somewhere in LA
[Chorus]
Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flying down to Houston
With forgetting her the nature of my flight
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm flying down to Houston
With forgetting her the nature of my flight
