The Runway Lyrics By The Grass Roots

    i’ve been a brother to sorrow
    i’ve been surrounded by gloom
    ’cause this hotel’s got hot and cold runnin’
    heartache in every room

    checkin’ out of here in the mornin’
    even that will be too much time
    i’m gonna get up on a big white bird
    waitin’ after you with a line

    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
    if i have to beg steal or borrow
    i’ll be seein’ you girl tomorrow
    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you

    tv’s gonna get to me
    haven’t heard a bit of good news good news
    who needs that when i’m sittin’ here chewin’
    i’m goin’ smothered in blues

    operator wake me at seven wake me
    don’t you wait a minute too long
    i’m gonna leave with a oneway ticket
    goin’ back to where i belong

    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
    if i have to beg steal or borrow
    i’ll be seein’ you girl tomorrow
    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you

    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
    oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
    yeah the runway is the one way
