United 1-0-9, New York to California Deparyure time, just before dawn We got up late, Cab was waitin' for her On the street, Blowin' its horn Before I made a scene, She hurried out the door Forgot her favourite jeans, On the bedroom floor I look into the sky, Tears in my eyes And my baby fly over the city Her agent got a deal, With a guy from Sacramento He's waitin' in a limousine To go downtown, show her around The local stations and magazines Promise her the moon, promise her the sun By the time she's home, Illusions will be gone I look into the sky, Tears in my eyes And my baby fly over the city Smitty - Joe's, for a drink or two Had a meal, on 7th Avenue Late at night, when i got back home Thats when she called, On the telephone She tell me not to worry, It'll work out fine She Says we need the money, But in the meantime I look into the sky, Tears in my eyes And my baby fly over the city
