Joe Purdy - Stranded Lyrics
Airport road there's a bus turned overMany people died, I guess I should've been a soldierWhat the hell you know it's not my faultWe been stranded here and it's too far to walkIt's late afternoon approaching evening nowAnd I'm just sitting in this airport bar wondering howHow I got here and how to get homeHas anyone around seen a payphone?I gotta get out of hereAnd I'm stranded, the west of my coastI just need to get homeAnd I'll be back here before you knowSo how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?Hungry now get a bite to eatAnd the pilot sits down to rest his feetA fat man walks into the pizza shopAnother little one walks out with nothing...Pretty girl walks by and I say...She turns her back, guess I caught her eyeThe cripple rolls backwards in a wheelchairAnd the pretty girl stops to fix her hairAnd I gotta get out of here'Cause I'm stranded, the west of my coastAnd I just need to get homeAnd I'll be back here before you knowSo 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 hereOh 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 onI turn to reply but the stranger was goneThe stranger was goneAnd I'm stranded, the west of my coastI just need to get homeAnd I'll be back here before you knowSo 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 asleepThe rich push their carts and they prepare to flyAs a little boy stops and waves goodbyeStops to wave goodbyeOh and he waves goodbyeAnd I'm stranded, at the west of my coastAnd I just want to get homeAnd I'll be back here before you knowSo how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?
