Boy, don’t wait, don’t think, don’t lock the door behind you Run and jump into your truck and hit the gas Burn some rubber up Yeah, your time’s running out, do it now Take a shortcut, take a back road, take the shoulder to the exit Skip the parking, screw the ticket, hit the curb and leave it sitting Whatever it takes, you gotta get to that gate She’s crying on a suitcase, sitting at the airport Waiting on the airplane ‘bout to take her out of here They’re gonna call her number, she’ll sit down by the window The plane’ll leave the runway and fade into a goodbye sky You’ve gotta run while you’ve still got time She’s crying on a suitcase Admit it boy, you blew it, really messed it up You can make excuses if you really wanna lose her It’s all on the line, do or die time, getting on your knees time Tell her that you want her, need her, love her, gotta have her Everything good in your life begins and ends with her Lose your pride while you can, come on, man, be a man She’s crying on a suitcase, sitting at the airport Waiting on the airplane ‘bout to take her out of here They’re gonna call her number, she’ll sit down by the window The plane’ll leave the runway and fade into a goodbye sky You’ve gotta run while you’ve still got time She’s crying on a suitcase She’s crying on a suitcase Waiting on the airplane ‘bout to take her out of here They’re gonna call her number, she’ll sit down by the window The plane’ll leave the runway and fade into a goodbye sky You’ve gotta run while you’ve still got time, you've still got time She’s crying on a suitcase Waiting on the airplane She’ll fade into a goodbye sky
