There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight:
Destination, New Orleans.
Boss man says my big promotion's on the line:
He says that's right where I need to be.

Lately I've been on the road more than I've been home.
All this leavin' her alone is killin' me.
And holdin' her, right now, has got me thinkin' more an' more,
This is right where I need to be.

Where when I hear her I can see her,
I can smell her sweet perfume.
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep.
Where I won't miss her, I can kiss her anytime that I want to.
Yeah, that's right where I need to be.
Yeah, that's right where I need to be.
Wow.

There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight,
With an empty first-class seat.
'Cause I've finally got all my priorities in line,
And I'm right where I need to be.

Where when I hear her I can see her,
I can smell her sweet perfume.
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep.
Where I won't miss her, I can kiss her anytime that I want to.
Yeah, that's right where I need to be.
Yeah, I'm right where I need to be.
