Jet Lag Lyrics

Jet Lag

I`m goin` back to New York city
Times square sure will be shinin` bright
I know it sure looks pretty
But I don`t go down every night.

I`m gonna take in Memphis
You know the one down in Tennessee
And if you wanna boogie
Now that`s the place to be.

Sittin` in a bar in Macon
Drinkin` something called Rebel Yells
When I thought I heard someone ringing
I guess she`s a southern bell.

We just cut out of El Paso
It just fries there in that desert sun
And if you`ve ever been down there man
Then you know why we run.

I got jet lag
And livin` out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the U.S.A.

Tryin` hard to make a phone call
"Long distance over seas"
"Yes ma`am I did say Scotland"
"Could you spell that again for me please"

You know that it just blew my mind
I`d love to go back there next trip
I sure hope we get some time.

Driving down a Detroit freeway
Just lookin` at those concrete walls
Hey but it`s a good town to rock`n`roll in
"What do you mean the police closed the god damned hall?"

Flyin` home tomorrow
To be there`s gonna be just great
And after some time with my lady
I`m gonna be back to rock`n`roll in the States.
