The result of a few too many business trips...

lyrics

Five in th' mornin'. West Coast hotel room blues
Wanna getta cuppa coffee there's only hotel room brew
There's a Preacher on the TV; car crash in East Bay
Anchor's looking perky, but nothing deep to say.
'Nother day of meetings, 'til I can come home to you

Trapped inna room that's never seen th' light a' day.
Blue suit readin' bullet points off'a Powerpoint display.
Think I'll check my email, 'cause he ain't gonna stop,
Open (m') laptop, there's a photo on th' desktop
smilin' hazel eyes near - take my breath away

Yeah, smilin' hazel eyes really take my breath away

(Well)Flew out Tuesday, Flyin' back Friday
This week's shot, back to work on Monday
Catch up on the weekend,
maybe get some sleep then,
Get sumpin' done a'fore I fly away again

Jet Blue back t'Boston; redeye, San Jose
Tunnel t' I90, push th' limit all th' way.
Keep an eye on the mirror for flashing blue and red
Turn in th' driveway, feel like headin' straight for bed
But laughin' hazel eyes - -brighten up my day

Yeah, laughin' hazel eyes - chase my blues away
