OUTBOUND PLANE
By Nanci Griffith & Tom Russell
(Rondor)

I don't want to be standing here
With this ticket for this outbound plane
'Cause I've been here before
And somehow this don't feel the same
Talk is cheap so we could talk all night long
We may never figure out just where your love went wrong

And I don't want to be standing here
And I don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

The old folks say love's not forever anymore
Because these young people walk away from love
Alone to pace the floor
Young or old I say that love is still the same
And you may walk away from love
But you'll fall head and heel again

And I don't want to be standing here
And I don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing
Neither cares where that other heart is going
But if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna' catch that outbound plane

That frown you're wearing's just your halo turned upside down
Where is the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found
These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground
But you can have this ticket for that lonely plane that's flyin' out
And I don't want to be standing here
And I don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane
If love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane
