Lyrics to Holding Pattern



You're startin' a holding pattern

Holding someone else thinking it don't matter

She's flying around leaving me on the ground

And holdin' every one she can



She's startin' a holding pattern

And I'm sorry for the fool that tries to land her

She's always in flight and I'm wondering tonight

When she's gonna take off again





I'm doing my downtime due to bad weather

But I won't stay grounded for long

I'm gonna find somebody to treat me better

And start a holding pattern of my own

I'm up to here with departure and arrival time

I'm gonna start riding on a new airline

I'm tired of her flying those friendly skies

While I'm sitting here wondering why



She's startin' a holding pattern

Holding someone else thinking it don't matter

She's flying around leaving me on the ground

And holdin' every one she can



She's statin' a holding pattern

And I'm sorry for the fool that tries to land her

She's always in flight and I'm wondering tonight

When she's gonna take off again



She's drifting way off course tryin' to cover the field

She'll never straighten up and fly right

I should've known she was on a holding pattern

When I saw her hanger empty almost every night

I won't be the one to try and clip her wings

And make reservations on some wedding rings

She's excess baggage that I don't wanna claim

And I might as well forget her name



She's startin' a holding pattern

Holding someone else thinking it don't matter

She's flying around leaving me on the ground

And holdin' every one she can



She's statin' a holding pattern

And I'm sorry for the fool that tries to land her

She's always in flight and I'm wondering tonight

When she's gonna take off again



She's always in flight and I'm wondering tonight

When she's gonna take off again
