Original Songs by Kent Newsome

Departing Passenger


She'll get around to going
One of these days
There's somebody else waiting
Out by the old BNA
Thank God for cellular phones
Thank God for Jim Beam
It's a lethal combination
That got the best of me

Chorus:
She's a departing passenger
She's leaving her baggage behind
She's headed straight to L.A.
L.A. sits on my fault line

That old highway is coming
Before too long
It's just a matter of time
Before she will be long gone
I should have seen it coming
Now I get to watch her go
Maybe I could have changed things
I guess I'll never know

Chorus:
She's a departing passenger
She's leaving her baggage behind
She's headed straight to L.A.
L.A. sits on my fault line

Bridge:
Maybe I'll take a bottle
To the airport
Park my car by the runway
And count the planes as they depart

Chorus:
She's a departing passenger
She's leaving her baggage behind
She's headed straight to L.A.
L.A. sits on my fault line
