I flew in from the West Coast Just in time for last call This place is way too fancy I'm never quite prepared For the heat of southern fall The guy in the lobby Playing piano as I came in I gave him the stink eye But I wish that I could play the piano Half as good as him I'm Sea Island lonely If you see me in the morning Won't you please say something kind to me? Won't you fix me a cup of coffee And tell me that you love me That this life is how it's meant to be? How it's meant to be Now the driver in the front seat He's been more than patient Waiting for me to catch a buzz To drink another cold beer And put on a dry shirt So we can make that drive to Jacksonville SongtexteI'm flying to New York City At five-thirty in the morning Sleep-walking south of Houston all alone I'll just catch myself a different buzz And look up at the bright lights And revel in the darkness of my songs Singing Sea Island lonely It's a wonder that it's only Written in the wind that carries me I'll fix you crunchy bacon And make your eggs less runny And thank you for the way you take care of me You take care of me You take care of me Sea Island lonely Don't even try to telephone me 'Cause the reception is dissolving rapidly I'll call you in the morning When New York City lights are dawning To convince you it's how it's meant to be How it's meant to be Aus Songtexte Mania
