Watching Airplanes Lyrics

After the cathartic experience of Tough All Over Gary Allan returned to happier lyrics with “Watching Airplanes”.

Watching Airplanes Lyrics:
Sittin’ out here on the hood of this truck looking up
at a caramel colored sunset sky
checkin’ my watch doin’ the math in my head
counting back words to when you said goodbye
well those runway lights are getting brighter

I’m just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
tryin’ to figure out which one you might be on
and why you don’t love me anymore
right now I’m sittin' out here watching airplanes

I would've lied could've cried should've tried harder
done anything to make you stay
I wonder what you'd do if you looked out your window
saw me runnin down the runway just like I was crazy
that fence is too high, so am I

So I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
tryin’ to figure out which one you might be on
and why you don't love me anymore

Right now I know you're thirty thousand feet above me
but a million miles away, a million miles away
by now I know I oughta act like you don't love me

But I’m just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
I’m just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
tryin’ to figure out which one you might be on
and why you don't love me anymore

Yeah I’m just sittin' out here watching airplanes
go by, by, by
I’m just sittin' out here watching airplanes
baby bye, bye, bye
Yeah, I’m just sittin' out here watching airplanes

Watching Airplanes: Hard Road
Mournful album Tough All Over may have been the defining album of Gary Allan’s career, but the dark tone of songs like “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful” and “Best I Ever Had” were a departure from the early works of the California singer. Though fans with Gary Allan tickets appreciated Tough All Over from an artistic and emotional standpoint, many wanted a return to songs like “Man To Man” and “Your Man”. The 2007 album Living Hard looked to embrace both of these dynamic parts that made up the spirit of Gary Allan.

Watching Airplanes: Just Living
Gary Allan took a short step into brighter things with debut single “Watching Airplanes”. While still lyrically a story of a lost love, the themes of “Watching Airplanes” were far less heavy than those of “Best I Ever Had”. Though “Watching Airplanes” certainly sees the protagonist examine why his love left, it never strays into painful territory and instead seems to reject the notion of dwelling in the past. Fans with Gary Allan tickets quickly jumped on “Watching Airplanes” and helped Living Hard fall just short of No. 1 on the charts.

Watching Airplanes: 2009 Tour
Singles “Learning How to Bend” and “She’s So California” both look Gary Allan to lighter and happier spots on the emotional spectrum, and both were certified hits as well. With three great singles to use as a base and a career constructed on rough-and-ready live performances, Gary Allan will tour in 2009. The 70,000-fan RodeoHouston event will be the crown jewel, but there are plenty of tour dates along the winding road in 2009.
