I WALKED HER TO THE PLANE IN PHOENIX, I SAID, "SAY HELLO TO YOUR MAMA."
SHE COULDN'T EVEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE
I DROVE OUT TO THE DESERT JUST LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED
AND SOMEWHERE IN THE DARKNESS I HEARD HER SAY GOOD BYE
NOW I HEAR VOICES IN THE WIND SAYIN' SHE AIN'T COMING BACK AGAIN
I LOOK FOR GUIDANCE IN THE SKY BUT THE STARS HAVE ALL GONE OUT TONIGHT
I FELL LIKE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS DYING
EVEN THE MAN IN THE MOON IS CRYING.
I'M BURNING UP THIS BLACKTOP, HEADING DOWN TO AUSTIN
I WONDER IF SHE MISSES ME TONIGHT
I WISH THAT I COULD TELL HER, HOW MUCH I LOVE HER
AND I WISH THIS DAMNED OL' THUNDERBIRD COULD FLY.
