Lyrics
Did you hear that telephone ring?
Reference to a phone call, signaling a need for action.
You'd better get ready and pack your things
Prepare to leave and gather belongings.
It's time to be going out again
Indication that it's time to go out once again.
Kiss the ladies goodbye, wipe the tears
Bid farewell to women, wiping away their tears.
From their pretty eyes.
Expressing the emotional impact on the women left behind.
You'll be back sometime, but you don't
Acknowledging a return in the future, but uncertainty when.
Know when
Uncertainty about the next return.
Moving on and on through the country
Continuous movement through rural areas.
Moving on and on in the towns
Ongoing journey through various towns.
Things are getting better in the towns for
Positive developments in towns for the narrator and a companion.
You and me.
Desire to extend and repeat the positive experiences.
I wanna make it last another time around.
Expressing a wish to make the positive experiences last.
About an hour down the rood
Recollection of a past enjoyable experience.
Remember how good it was to go
Reflecting on the goodness of the past experience.
Chalk it up to the best of all times
Attributing the past experience as the best of times.
And all those hours on the plane,
Emphasizing the significant time spent traveling by plane.
A million miles on your brain.
Acknowledging extensive mental and physical travel.
No cause to wonder if it's still a good time
No need to question if the good times persist.
Moving on and on through the country
Continued movement through rural areas.
Moving on and on in the towns,
Continued journey through various towns.
Things ore getting better in the towns for
Positive developments in towns for the narrator and a companion.
You and me.

I wanna make it last another time around.
Expressing a wish to make the positive experiences last.
You hear the telephone ring

Oh it's time to be going out again.
