Harry Chapin - Northwest 222 lyrics

I'm a strummin' fool out in the sticks For the glory and the bread And you're wise enough to let me sing This music in my head. And if there's any way to get there Strumming head on out I go driven hard to pick up old 222 en route. But now they've gone and cancelled Old Northwest 222 It's a late night bird that always brought me back home to you There's a thousand miles between us Babe that I cannot get through Is there nothing left to count on, now That old 222 is gone? Old 222 is gone. My guitar bouncin' on my shoulder, my Ticket in my hand I'm runnin' on the ramp on board, I just Made it again Pull pillows down and a blanket and I Stretch out 'cross the seat Yes I'm racked our, winging homeward Where I got this dream to keep But now they've gone and cancelled Old Northwest 222 It's a late night bird that always brought me back home to you There's a thousand miles between us Babe that I cannot get through Is there nothing left to count on, now That old 222 is gone? Old 222 is gone. Minneapolis at 1 AM Chicago at 3 It's Detroit at 5 the it's New York City Where she's waitin' for me And I come chargin' off the jet way the Dream is in my eyes When I see you there at curbside babe I'm kissin' you at sunrise Yes you brought the van to get me. Sometime when the plane is late We would find a place for parking When the lovin' would not wait But now they've gone and cancelled Old Northwest 222 It's a late night bird that always brought me back home to you There's a thousand miles between us Babe that I cannot get through Is there nothing left to count on, now That old 222 is gone? Old 222 is gone.
