The Night Flight From Houston
by

Lyrics
It was the night flight from Houston. Almost perfect visibility. You could see the lights from all the little Texas towns far below. And I was sitting next to a fifty-year old woman who had never been on a plane before. And her son had sent her a ticket and said: — Mom, you've raised ten kids; it's time you got on a plane. And she was sitting in a window seat staring out and she kept talking about the Big Dipper and that Little Dipper and pointing; and suddenly I realized that she thought we were in outer space looking down at the stars. And I said: — You know, I think those lights down there are the lights from little towns.
