Jet Lag Lyrics - Nazareth

I'm goin' back to new york city 

Times square sure will be shinin' bright 

I know it sure looks pretty 

But I don't go down every night. 

I'm gonna take in memphis 

You know the one down in tennessee 

And if you wanna boogie 

Now that's the place to be. 

Sittin' in a bar in macon 

Drinkin' something called rebel yells 

When I thought I heard someone ringing 

I guess she's a southern bell. 

We just cut out of el paso 

It just fries there in that desert sun 

And if you've 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 ma'am I did say scotland" 

"could you spell that again for me please" 

You know that it just blew my mind 

I'd 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 it's a good town to rock'n'roll in 

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

Flyin' home tomorrow 

To be there's gonna be just great 

And after some time with my lady 

I'm gonna be back to rock'n'roll in the states.
