The winds start to pick up fifty mile an hour winds
We've been here too long
We're still on the ground, there's a hurricane coming, and I'm thinking
We're running out of time
We have to leave, we have to leave now
[Company]
One plane then another, and then nine planes
Then another and then thirteen planes
And another, (thirteen planes) and another (thirteen planes)
Twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-nine, thirty-two
Thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight
Thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight
Thirty-eight, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty-eight planes
[Beverley]
Ladies and gentlemen, if you look out your windows
Underneath all that rain is Maine
We've just crossed the Canadian border, welcome back to the U S of A!
[Bob]
Lookin' out the window at the world underneath
[Diane]
And though he's here next to me, any second he'll go
[Kevin J]
Lookin' out the window
[Kevin T]
Kevin, talk to me please
[Hannah]
And out the window we see
[Company]
A place we all know below
[Bob]
Is this on? Oh, it's on
Sorry, everyone
Hi!
Like most everyone, I am sorry saying goodbye
So I wanted to thank them for all that they did
So I'm doing just that
And I'm passing a hat
For the people who gave up their time
And they gave up their town so let's give them a scholarship
Pass the hat down
'Cause
[Company]
Somewhere, in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where (who knows where), there you'll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air, you found your heart
But left a part of you behind
[Diane]
Nick and I sit together and I just
I wanna say something but we're leaving
And it's over
[Nick]
And then she starts crying
And I don't know what to say
So I just put my arm around her
And I go to kiss her on the forehead, to comfort her
[Diane]
Well, there was some turbulence and honestly I just thought he missed so I
[Beverley]
Ladies and gentleman, if you look out your windows
You won't wanna miss this
We just entered Texas
[Company]
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where
There you'll find!
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air, you found your heart
And left a part of you behind
[Joey]
Everyone's drinking and comparing stories
[Delores]
Where'd you stay? What'd you do?
[Diane]
But mostly Nick and I spent the plane ride home canoodling in the back
[Nick]
At one point a flight attendant comes around saying
[Flight Attendant]
Hot towel? Hot towel?
Cold towel?
[Company]
Somewhere in between the pace of life
And work and where you're going something makes you stop
And notice and you're finally in the moment
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where (who knows where)
There you'll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You found your heart, but left a part of you behind
[Beverley and Company]
Ladies and gentleman put your seats back and tray tables up
Right below us is the city where I grew up
Coming 'round past the field
Then the wheels touch the ground (Home, America, home in America)
Taxi-ing, we're all cheering, we're down (Home, America, home in America)
Thanking everyone, thank you for flying American (Home, America, home in America)
Hugging them, hugging my crew
'Cause we're home again (Home, America, home in America)
Past the gate, up the stairs, and we're there
And he's waitin' in line
No I'm fine, Tom, I'm fine
