[length: 04:08]
[00:11.86]William wakes with his clothes on
[00:15.41]The morning call has been and gone
[00:19.14]And he might not make the flight
[00:22.22]But he will try, yeah
[00:27.37]Bit by bit, it comes back to him
[00:31.01]A bunch of Belgian businessmen
[00:34.35]And a strange drinking game
[00:37.88]Oh, God, why?
[00:39.03]Come home, Billy Bird
[00:42.69]International business traveler
[00:46.55]Come home, Billy Bird
[00:50.26]He hails a cab, but the driver sucks
[00:54.31]He drives so slowly, and he talks so much
[00:57.48]That it hurts Billy Bird’s aching brain, yeah
[01:05.67]He runs from the cab to the check-in desk
[01:09.59]She says, “No way”, but William begs on his knees
[01:14.41]”Please, please, please”
[01:16.60]”Well, okay”
[01:17.52]Come home, Billy Bird
[01:21.60]International business traveler
[01:25.46]Come home, Billy Bird
[01:30.06]
[01:44.62]Drenched in sweat he finds his seat
[01:48.03]And with the luggage squeezed down beneath his feet
[01:51.75]He begins to think that things can’t get no worse
[01:58.71](Can’t get no worse)
[01:59.71]But then a voice says, “Bags that can’t be stowed
[02:03.64]In the overhead lockers, must go below
[02:07.10]In the hold, please let go
[02:10.84]Thank you, sir”
[02:11.93]Come home, Billy Bird
[02:15.57]International business traveler
[02:19.51]Come home, Billy Bird
[02:23.43]Come home, William, come home
[02:35.82]He runs on past the carousel
[02:39.03]Screaming, “Damn my luggage all to hell
[02:43.01]I can buy a new shirt and tie any day”
[02:50.74]He rides from the airport into town
[02:55.38]To the high school football ground
[02:58.60]Where his son has just begun his big football game
[03:06.99]Come home, Billy Bird
