[00:09.84]Airport road there's a bus turned over
[00:13.43]Many people died, I guess I should've been a soldier
[00:17.19]What the hell you know it's not my fault
[00:20.79]We been stranded here and it's too far to walk
[00:31.59]It's late afternoon approaching evening now
[00:35.16]And I'm just sitting in this airport bar wondering how
[00:39.66]How I got here and how to get home
[00:43.33]Has anyone around seen a payphone?
[00:48.74]I gotta get out of here
[00:53.24]And I'm stranded, the west of my coast
[00:57.72]I just need to get home
[01:02.27]And I'll be back here before you know
[01:05.98]So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?
[01:18.50]Hungry now get a bite to eat
[01:22.14]And the pilot sits down to rest his feet
[01:25.70]A fat man walks into the pizza shop
[01:29.37]Another little one walks out with nothing...
[01:40.26]Pretty girl walks by and I say...
[01:43.87]She turns her back, guess I caught her eye
[01:47.67]The cripple rolls backwards in a wheelchair
[01:52.13]And the pretty girl stops to fix her hair
[01:56.70]And I gotta get out of here
[02:02.13]'Cause I'm stranded, the west of my coast
[02:05.70]And I just need to get home
[02:10.22]And I'll be back here before you know
[02:13.83]So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?
[02:26.54]Cop tackles me down, shouts, "Give me a hand"
[02:30.14]And his partner comes up and says, "You got the wrong man."
[02:34.61]So the night grows on and I'm in the ...
[02:38.26]Call a friend at home, says "I wish you were here
[02:43.69]Oh how I wish you were here"
[02:48.26]I talk to a stranger to pass the time,
[02:52.79]Says, "How are you, boy, 'cause I'm doing fine."
[02:56.37]Place grows cold so I put a sweater on
[02:59.95]I turn to reply but the stranger was gone
[03:05.38]The stranger was gone
[03:09.84]And I'm stranded, the west of my coast
[03:14.42]I just need to get home
[03:18.92]And I'll be back here before you know
[03:24.38]So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?
[03:42.37]I take one more drink and I get up from my seat.
[03:46.04]And I try not to fall asleep
[03:49.66]The rich push their carts and they prepare to fly
[03:54.15]As a little boy stops and waves goodbye
[03:59.54]Stops to wave goodbye
[04:04.00]Oh and he waves goodbye
[04:12.16]And I'm stranded, at the west of my coast
[04:16.71]And I just want to get home
[04:21.28]And I'll be back here before you know
[04:23.93]So how about it Mr. Pilot, won't you let my people go?
