Northwest 222 Lyrics - Harry Chapin

I'm a strummin' fool out in the sticks 

For the glory and the bread 

And you're wise enough to let me sing 

This music in my head. 

And if there's any way to get there 

Strumming head on out 

I go driven hard to pick up old 

222 en route. 

But now they've gone and cancelled 

Old Northwest 222 

It's a late night bird that always 

brought me back home to you 

There's a thousand miles between us 

Babe that I cannot get through 

Is there nothing left to count on, now 

That old 222 is gone? 

Old 222 is gone.

My guitar bouncin' on my shoulder, my 

Ticket in my hand 

I'm runnin' on the ramp on board, I just 

Made it again 

Pull pillows down and a blanket and I 

Stretch out 'cross the seat 

Yes I'm racked our, winging homeward 

Where I got this dream to keep 

But now they've gone and cancelled 

Old Northwest 222 

It's a late night bird that always 

brought me back home to you 

There's a thousand miles between us 

Babe that I cannot get through 

Is there nothing left to count on, now 

That old 222 is gone? 

Old 222 is gone.

Minneapolis at 1 AM Chicago at 3 

It's Detroit at 5 the it's New York City 

Where she's waitin' for me 

And I come chargin' off the jet way the 

Dream is in my eyes 

When I see you there at curbside babe 

I'm kissin' you at sunrise 

Yes you brought the van to get me. 

Sometime when the plane is late 

We would find a place for parking 

When the lovin' would not wait 

But now they've gone and cancelled 

Old Northwest 222 

It's a late night bird that always 

brought me back home to you 

There's a thousand miles between us 

Babe that I cannot get through 

Is there nothing left to count on, now 

That old 222 is gone? 

Old 222 is gone.
