When the Wheels Touch Down

Wearing out my wings

So tired I can't sleep

Oughta sober up

But they're bringing me liquor for free

Counting up the miles

Staring out the window

Five hour flight

But it feels like forever to go

LAX into ATL

First class ticket meant for somebody else

Chasing a dream takes a head in the clouds

But Im needing some time with my boots on the ground

So I'm up in the air and homeward bound

She'll be picking me up the the wheels touch down

When the wheels touch down

Been up on the stage

Been in the spotlight

No day of rest

In a month full of Saturday nights

Sick of all the noise

Sick of all my old song

Tired of this routine

Tired of both of us sleeping alone

LAX into ATL

First class ticket meant for somebody else

Chasing a dream takes a head in the clouds

But Im needing some time with my boots on the ground

So I'm up in the air and homeward bound

She'll be picking me up the the wheels touch down

When the wheels touch down

The trouble with flying so high, so far down the road

Is the biggest fan Ive got, hardly ever makes a show

But she keeps picking me up when the wheels touch down

LAX into ATL

First class ticket meant for somebody else

Chasing a dream takes a head in the clouds

But Im needing some time with my boots on the ground

And she's on her way to Hartsfield now

She'll be picking me up, she'll be picking me up,

She's always picking up

When the wheels touch down

When the wheels touch down
