Travellin' Band

Elton John

737 coming out of the sky

Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride

I want to move, yeah

Playing in a travelling band, yeah

Well I'm flying across the land

Trying to get a hand

Playing in a travelling band

Take me to the hotel

Baggage gone, oh well

Come on, come on, won't you get me to the room

I want to move, yeah

Playing in a travelling band, yeah

Well I'm flying across the land

Trying to get a hand

Playing in a travelling band

Listen to the radio

Talking about the last show

Someone got excited, had to call the state militia

I want to move, yeah

Playing in a travelling band, yeah

Well I'm flying across the land

Trying to get a hand

Playing in a travelling band

Here we come again on a Saturday night

With your fussing and your fighting, won't you get me to the right

I want to move, yeah

Playing in a travelling band, yeah

Well I'm flying across the land

Trying to get a hand

Playing in a travelling band

Well I'm playing in a travelling band

Playing in a travelling band

Playing in a travelling band

Well I'm playing in a travelling band

Well I'm flying across the land

Trying to get a hand

Playing in a travelling band
