On The Way

(With thanks to lyricsfreak.com, and apologies to John Denver. But not to Ben Affleck.)

All her bags are packed she's ready to go
We're standin' here outside the car
I hate to send her off and say goodbye
But it's the LA rush and the cars are stacked
The airport cop is acting wack
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Hug an emperor penguin for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause she's leavin' on a jet plane
Three weeks 'til she'll be back again
Oh babe, it's time to go 

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
I'll close my eyes and you'll be on your way
Dream about the days to be
A shipboard sauna and the rolling sea
Antarctic sun and the taste of salty spray

So kiss me and smile for me
Surf on an ice floe for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause she's leavin' on a jet plane
Three weeks 'til she'll be back again
Oh babe, it's time to go
