38 Planes (Reprise)/Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere Songtext
von ‘Come From Away’ Original Broadway Cast

The winds start to pick up, 50 mile an hour winds
We′ve been here too long
We're still on the ground, there′s a hurricane coming
And I'm thinking, we're running out of time
We have to leave, we have to leave now

One plane, then another
And then nine planes, then another (seven)
And then 13 planes and another (19 planes)
And another (22), 24, 29, 32
38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 30, 30, 30, 38

Ladies and gentlemen, if you look out the windows
Underneath all that rain is Maine
We′ve just crossed the Canadian boarder
Welcome back to the US of A

Lookin′ out the window at the world underneath
And though he's here next to me, any second he′ll go
Lookin' out the window, Kevin talk to me please
And out the window we see (a place we all know, below)


Is this on? Oh, it′s on, sorry, everyone, hi
Like most everyone, I am sorry saying goodbye
So I wanted to thank them for all that they've did
So I′m doing just that, and I'm passing a hat

For the people who gave up their time
And they gave up their town
So let's give them a scholarship
Pass the hat down, ′cause

Somewhere, in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows where
(Who knows) where you′ll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You've found your heart and left a part of you behind

Nick and I sit together and I just
I wanna say something, but we′re leaving and it's over
And then she starts to cry
And I don′t know what to say

So I just put my arm around her
And I go to kiss her on the forehead to comfort her
Well, there was some turbulence
And honestly, I just thought he missed, so I-


Ladies and gentlemen, if you look out your windows
You won't want to miss this, we just entered Texas

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of who knows
(Who knows) where you′ll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You've found your heart and left a part of you behind

Everyone's drinking and comparing stories
Where′d you stay? What′d you do?
But mostly Nick and I
Spent the plane ride home, canoodling in the back

At one point, a flight attendant comes around saying
"Hot towel? Hot towel?"
"Cold towel?"

Somewhere in between the place of
Life and work and where you're going
Something makes you stop and you′ll notice
And you're finally in the moment

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
In the middle whose knows where
(Who knows) where you′ll find
Something in the middle of nowhere
In the middle of clear blue air
You've found your heart, and left a part of you behind

Ladies and gentlemen, put your seats back and tray tables up
Right below us, is the city where I grew up
Come around, pass the field and then the wheels touch the ground
Taxi in where all cheering we′re down

Thanking everyone, thank you for flying in American
Hugging them, hugging my crew 'cause we're home again
Pass the gate up the stairs, we′re there
And he′s waiting in line

No, I'm fine, Tom
I′m fine
