Song by Kevin D Stroud 2018/BMI
1st Verse:
Down here in this hotel lobby waiting for your flight to come in
TV screen showing current weather and your flight’s delayed again
Waiting, anticipating, can’t help but think of what I’m gonna say
We both know it’s been so long now like love’s left out in the rain
Pre Chorus 1:
Standing there in the airport lobby with nowhere else to go
Checking your watch, time, time zone, baby pick up the telephone
Chorus 1:
Yeah, let’s talk awhile! You know I’ve got a whole lot on my mind
It’s been so long since I’ve seen you now, it’s like taking a grand road trip way back when
To another place and time, for now we can talk about family life
Good times, good friends! Surfing on an ocean wave! Dream about going places we’ve never been so far!
Travelling the world business class style, the future is on speed dial, yeah baby let’s talk awhile!
2nd Verse:
Drove home out here on the range after your flight finally arrived
12 hour delay wasn’t much, just enough to rekindle ‘ole flame
You see that’s this here Tractor, you see that’s this here Farm
See the wheat fields, soybeans grow, keep heartland America strong
What do you say we hit the hay! You’re too hot, it’s too humid, get it on!
Pre Chorus 2:
Standing out there in the great wide open with the whole world in our hands
Heading for the hay bales, yeah that is where there is no telephone plan
Chorus 2:
Yeah, let’s talk awhile! You know I’ve got a whole lot on my mind
It’s been so long since I’ve seen you now, it’s like taking a grand road trip way back when
To another place and time, for now we can talk about family life
Good times, good friends! Surfing on an ocean wave! Dream about going places we’ve never been so far!
Travelling the world 10,000 miles, the future is a country mile, yeah baby let’s talk awhile!
Bridge:
As I looked to the West I saw a strand of Cotton blowing in the wind
We gotta live in the now, give it all we’ve got, no regrets on what might have been
Outro Chorus:
Yeah let’s talk awhile, let’s talk awhile, we can work things out!
Yeah let’s talk awhile, let’s talk awhile, we can work things out!
