Jet Lag — текст песни (nazareth)

Im goin back to new york city

Times square sure will be shinin bright

I know it sure looks pretty

But I dont go down every night.



Im gonna take in memphis

You know the one down in tennessee

And if you wanna boogie

Now thats the place to be.



Sittin in a bar in macon

Drinkin something called rebel yells

When I thought I heard someone ringing

I guess shes a southern bell.



We just cut out of el paso

It just fries there in that desert sun

And if youve ever been down there man

Then you know why we run.



I got jet lag

And livin out an overnight bag

Time changes every day

They do things a different way

Back in the u.s.a.



Tryin hard to make a phone call

"long distance over seas"

"yes maam I did say scotland"

"could you spell that again for me please"



You know that it just blew my mind

Id love to go back there next trip

I sure hope we get some time.



Driving down a detroit freeway

Just lookin at those concrete walls

Hey but its a good town to rocknroll in

"what do you mean the police closed the God damned hall? "



Flyin home tomorrow

To be theres gonna be just great

And after some time with my lady

Im gonna be back to rocknroll in the states.
