Love on a Layover

The five o'clock flight outta ATL
Is my one stop final to Jacksonville
To get a little bit of sun on my face
And wash all my worries away
I didn't make it to my gate on time
I can see the plane already waiting inline
To pull out on that runway
With an empty seat at 13A

So I waited for the next flight down at an airport bar
Where I never thought a blue-eyed baby would take my heart
When I said,

Excuse me ma'am
You wouldn't happen to be sitting here
Cause you missed your flight
She said, yes I am and I guess me and you will be drinking here for a while
Telling every story that know
To pass the time before it's time to go
Wishing that our planes would move a little bit slower
Falling in Love on a Layover

For every glass of whiskey on ice
I ordered up another vodka with a lime
To make sure that we're on the same page
And nobody got carried away
Well gate 43 to Colorado
Came on the speakers and she said she had to go
It might've been a want what you can't have
But I couldn't get enough of that

Girl walking away from that airport bar
A blue-eyed baby that I never thought would take my heart
When I said,

Excuse me ma'am
You wouldn't happen to be sitting here
Cause you missed your flight
She said, yes I am and I guess you and me will be drinking here for a while
Telling every story that know
To pass the time before it's time to go
Wishing that our planes would move a little bit slower
Falling in Love on a Layover

Well I watched flight 8342 take off in a headwind
When right about that time I heard the voice that I fell in love with
And she said

Hey you again
You wouldn't happen to be sitting here
Watching my flight
I said, yes I am but I'm sure glad that you came back to drink for a while
There's still stories that we don't
But now that we got time and nowhere to go
Let's sit and watch those planes fly over
And fall in Love on a Layover
And fall in Love on a Layover
And fall in Love on a Layover
