5 Miles Over Kansas

Holding up the line under the Southwest sign
Taking too long to say goodbye
Run through security
Get my window seat
Full flight, but it's a lonely ride

Now, I'm 5 miles over Kansas
Sunlight's dancing on the clouds
I'm still a long way off from landing
I left my heart back on the ground
30,000 feet in the air
Wishing I was still right there
Kissing you, getting high
Instead of 5 miles
5 miles over Kansas

Killing time, sipping on some in-flight wine
Blue skies remind me of your eyes
Lady next to me
Watching Pretty in Pink
But you're all that's playing on my mind

Now, I'm five miles over LA
I can hear the wheels go down
You know if I was flying this plane
I'd pull up and turn it around
30,000 feet in the air
Wishing I was still right there
Kissing you, getting high
Instead of five miles
5 miles over LA

As soon as I grab my bag
Get a red eye and head right back
I know it's late and I hate to ask

But I'm five miles over Kansas
Moonlight's dancing on the clouds
Won't be long until we've landed
And I'll meet you on the ground
30,0000 feet in the air
Girl, I'm almost there
Kissing you, getting high
Only 5 miles
5 miles over Kansas
