BIGGEST AIRPORT IN THE WORLD
(Sanger D. Shafer)


Moe Bandy -1975


I've never seen so many faces 
Goin' to so many places at one time
This Dallas Fort Worth Airport is so big 
It blows this country boy's mind
She said she'd meet me here at eight
We'd have some coffee then get on that morning flight
And hurry to El Paso and marry in old Mexico tonight

I met her in a tavern about a week ago 
And right away we made the plans
I bought her pretty dresses for the honeymoon 
Down on the Rio Grande
She's a little late for coffee
But there's no need to worry 'cause I'll find that girl
It's so easy to get lost here in the biggest airport in the world

I guess I've walked ten miles 
Lookin' for that lovin' smile that could never lie
Just because she flirts with others
That don't mean that she would ever miss this morning flight

Now that big jet plane is leaving
But my heart keeps on believing that she's still my girl
And she's somewhere lost and all alone
In the biggest airport in the world
I know she's lost and crying 
In the biggest airport in the world
