    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song on an airplane heading back home to Florida from New York State. Back at college, our band had just opened on the big stage for "The Winters Bros." & "Grinder Switch". The lyrics are about the feeling you get when after you have lots of hard work behind you. The song actually took about half an hour to write and about 3 hours to record. This song was recorded at Pyramid Studios in Ithaca, N.Y. with the help of studio giant Alex Pirialis.

    Lyrics
    Jet engines thunder, I'm on the road
    Into the sky, fly me home
    I'll play my music 'cause I love the night,
    But home is my road's end
    And it's almost in sight.

    Chorus
    Southern seas I'll be a rowin'
    Ocean mist will fill the air
    No more weight will I be towin'
    I can't believe I'm almost there

    Southern Wind, keep on blowin'
    Sing your warm and sunny song
    Straight ahead is where I'm goin'
    Straight back home where I belong

    Through clouds of amber into the sun
    Back to the southland, I'm on the run
    Big bird a-fly me over my hometown
    Take me over my backyard and set me down

    (Chorus)

    I can see the runway, it's in front of me
    My legs are restless, I'll soon be free
    This plane's a-landin' in the Sunshine State
    Friendly people sunny weather, how I can't wait.

    (Chorus)
