Sitting in an east coast airport
Waiting on a delayed flight
This one s gonna take her back west tonight
To Oregon state
The Snake River, to delineate
The border with Idaho
Kelly s dreams of acting
Were mopped up on the bathroom floor
After a double shift
At the five and dime
Downtown Manhattan
City of New York
She can t wait to get back to Oregon
She can t wait to get back to Oregon
She can t wait to get back to Oregon
Cruising at 40,000
Her mind was a lonely island
Conversation mixed with the engine s flow
With a window on Oregon state
Her body above does levitate
Coming back over Mount Jefferson
Kelly s dream s distracted
By a red light that s illuminated
On West Coast Airlines Flight 956
10, 01, 1966
She can t wait to get back to Oregon
She can t wait to get back to Oregon
She can t wait to get back to Oregon
