Lyrics

Red Eye

Let me tell you a story

Let me shovel some dirt

Long time, no sugar

And it's starting to hurt

Something's floating in my cola

Something's wrong with my brew

Something's rotten in Idaho

And I don't know what to do

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Only go around once

Gotta quench that thirst

Gotta grab that gusto

Gotta get there first

Something's flattening my cola

Something's wrong with my brew

Something's rotten in Idaho

And I don't know what to do

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone

On the Red Eye Express

Gone, gone, gone

With the red eye distress

Gone, gone, gone
