Flying me back home
747
Been lonely too long

I've been working on the road
With a five-piece band
But don't you know
I'm a little bit tired
Of all these one-night stands?

747
Get me there tonight
There's a little bit of heaven
She loves me so fine

She'll be waiting at the gate
For me when I land
There'll be a fire in her eyes, you know
For her loving man

747
Please get there on time
747
Hear your engine whine
Oh
And I'll hold her to me as long as I can

'Cause I love that girl
And I'm gonna miss her
Til I'm home again
One more time

747
Flying me back home
747
I been lonely too long

I've been working on the road
With a five-piece band
Oh, but Lord
You know I'm a little bit tired
Of all these one-night stands
