Joe Purdy - Stranded lyrics

rate me

Airport road there's a bus turned over

Many people died, I guess I should've been a soldier

What the hell you know it's not my fault

We been stranded here and it's too far to walk

It's late afternoon approaching evening now

And I'm just sitting in this airport bar wondering how

How I got here and how to get home

Has anyone around seen a payphone?

I gotta get out of here

And I'm stranded, the west of my coast

I just need to get home

And I'll be back here before you know

So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?

Hungry now get a bite to eat

And the pilot sits down to rest his feet

A fat man walks into the pizza shop

Another little one walks out with nothing...

Pretty girl walks by and I say...

She turns her back, guess I caught her eye

The cripple rolls backwards in a wheelchair

And the pretty girl stops to fix her hair

And I gotta get out of here

'Cause I'm stranded, the west of my coast

And I just need to get home

And I'll be back here before you know

So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?

Cop tackles me down, shouts, "Give me a hand"

And his partner comes up and says, "You got the wrong man."

So the night grows on and I'm in the ...

Call a friend at home, says "I wish you were here

Oh how I wish you were here"

I talk to a stranger to pass the time,

Says, "How are you, boy, 'cause I'm doing fine."

Place grows cold so I put a sweater on

I turn to reply but the stranger was gone

The stranger was gone

And I'm stranded, the west of my coast

I just need to get home

And I'll be back here before you know

So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?

I take one more drink and I get up from my seat.

And I try not to fall asleep

The rich push their carts and they prepare to fly

As a little boy stops and waves goodbye

Stops to wave goodbye

Oh and he waves goodbye

And I'm stranded, at the west of my coast

And I just want to get home

And I'll be back here before you know

So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?
