When our manager said "jump"
I threw my clothes and my saxophone
In a two by four-bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport
And I ran to the ticket line
Man said "Son, you could have saved the run
Those airplanes just quit flyin'"
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L. A. Flyway
Is goin' to be my home
I ran through the terminal building
To fly by my airline
The man said I could ride the wing
And I said that was fine
He said I'll confirm your reservation
And put the plane on hold
He come back and said "Sorry
But that wing space just been sold"
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L. A. Flyway
Is goin' to be my home
I walked into the washroom
And I built myself a fire
Threw on lots of paper
And the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in
So scared his face was white
So, I explained my situation
He said "That's all right"
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L. A. Flyway
Is goin' to be my home
Next day I thought that I would leave
So I packed my things again
I waited fourteen hours
For a taxi to come in
I spotted one that wasn't full
And I threw myself in fast
The driver said "I'm sorry
But this taxi's out of gas"
If I can't leave here
I just might stay
And that L. A. Flyway
Is goin' to be my home
I was down in L. A. Town When our manager said "jump" I threw my clothes and my saxophone In a two by four-bit trunk I pushed it to the airport And I ran to the ticket line Man said "Son, you could have saved the run Those airplanes just quit flyin'" If I can't leave here I just might stay And that L.
