I was down in L A town

When our manager said Jump

I threw my clothes

And my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk

I pushed it to the airport and I ran to the ticket line

Man said Son you could have saved the run

Those airplanes just quit flyin'

If I can't leave here I just might stay

And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home

Uh-huh

I ran to the terminal building

To fly by my airline

The man said I could ride the wing

And I said that was fine

He said I'll confirm your reservation

And put the plane on hold

He come back and said Sorry

But that wing space just been sold

If I can't leave here I just might stay

And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home

Um-hum baby

I walked into the washroom

And I built myself a fire

Threw on lots of paper

And the flames kept gettin' higher

The janitor come runnin' in

So scared his face was white

So I explained my situation

He said That's all right

If I can't leave here I just might stay

And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home

Next day I thought that I would leave

So I packed my things again

I waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in

Spotted one that wasn't full

And I threw myself in fast

The driver said I'm sorry

But this taxi's out of gas

If I can't leave here I just might stay

And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home
