Harry Chapin - Northwest 222 video free download

"I'm a strummin' fool out in the sticks

For the glory and the bread

And you're wise enough to let me sing

This music in my head.

And if there's any way to get there

Strumming head on out

I go driven hard to pick up old

222 en route.

But now they've gone and cancelled

Old Northwest 222

It's a late night bird that always

brought me back home to you

There's a thousand miles between us

Babe that I cannot get through

Is there nothing left to count on, now

That old 222 is gone?

Old 222 is gone.

My guitar bouncin' on my shoulder, my

Ticket in my hand

I'm runnin' on the ramp on board, I just

Made it again

Pull pillows down and a blanket and I

Stretch out 'cross the seat

Yes I'm racked our, winging homeward

Where I got this dream to keep

But now they've gone and cancelled

Old Northwest 222

It's a late night bird that always

brought me back home to you

There's a thousand miles between us

Babe that I cannot get through

Is there nothing left to count on, now

That old 222 is gone?

Old 222 is gone.

Minneapolis at 1 AM Chicago at 3

It's Detroit at 5 the it's New York City

Where she's waitin' for me

And I come chargin' off the jet way the

Dream is in my eyes

When I see you there at curbside babe

I'm kissin' you at sunrise

Yes you brought the van to get me.

Sometime when the plane is late

We would find a place for parking

When the lovin' would not wait

But now they've gone and cancelled

Old Northwest 222

It's a late night bird that always

brought me back home to you

There's a thousand miles between us

Babe that I cannot get through

Is there nothing left to count on, now

That old 222 is gone?

Old 222 is gone."
