Chorus: It's a bloody Mary morning Baby's left me without warning Sometime in the night And I'm flying down to Houston Forgetting her the nature of my flight As we taxi toward the runway With the smog and smoke reminding me Of how I feel Just a country boy who's learning That the pitfalls of the city are extremely real All the nightlife and the parties Temptation and a seat The order of the day It's a bloody Mary morning And I'm leaving baby Somewhere in L.A. [ Chorus ] Now our golden jet is airborne And flight #50 cuts a path across the morning sky And a voice comes through the speaker Reassuring us flight #50 is the way to fly And our hostess takes an order Coffee, tea, or something stronger to start off the day It's a bloody Mary morning And I'm leaving baby somewhere in L.A. [ Chorus - x3 ]
