It's a bloody merry mornin'
Baby you left me without warnin', sometime in the night
So, I'm flyin' down to Houston
With forgetting her the nature of my flight

As we taxi toward the runway
With smog and haze reminding me of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learnin'
That the pitfalls of the city are extremely real

All the night life and the parties
And temptation and deceit, the order of the day
Well it's a bloody merry mornin'
'Cause I'm leavin' baby, somewhere in L.A

It's a bloody merry mornin'
Baby you left me without warnin', sometime in the night
So, I'm flyin' down to Houston
With forgetting her the nature of my flight

Well our golden jet is airborne
And flight fifty cuts a path across the mornin' sky
And a voice comes through the speaker
Reassuring us flight fifty is the way to fly

And a hostess takes our order
Coffee tea or somethin' stronger to start off the day
Well, it's a bloody merry mornin'
'Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in L.A

It's a bloody merry mornin'
Baby you left me without warnin', sometime in the night
So, I'm flyin' down to Houston
With forgettin' her the nature of my flight
