Right Where I Need To Be
Lyrics by: Casey Beathard, Kendell Marvel
Album: Gary Allan - Smoke Rings In The Dark

There's a plane flyn' outta here tongiht
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 and more
This is right where I need to be

Chorus:
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

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

Repeat Chorus

Notes: So, after Lizzie came out to play in Fire and Water, Jason walked up to my door one night, ever so politely knocked and told me in no uncertain terms that I couldn't leave the story with him being such a mindless jerk who would leave Elizabeth like that. I sat back, pondered it for a while, looking for the right impetus that would kick start Jason into motion and get him fighting against the domination of his boss and winning back the woman in his life. This song came on one night as I was driving home and I hit the repeat button on the CD player several times while the idea came together.
