Jet City Woman Lyrics
You say you won't be there.
And you're always there.
Every time I cry your name at night,
you pull close and say it's alright.
I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me, rain wash over me.
Touching your face, I feel the heat
of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream.
What you do to me!
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you.
It's a long way, home to my
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind.
there's a part missing from my life.
Wonder where I'd be without your love
holding me together now I'm
watching the time tick, tick away.
Face grows longer every day.
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
but without you I can't breathe!
You're the air to me!
Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you.
Got to find my way home to her.
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere I look!
Jet City Woman.
Just a thousand miles and I'll be there
Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away.
Time for some blue sky!
and hour, reminds me of all our days apart.
Hold on, just a little longer.
Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me.
Jet City Woman.
Eyes like the rain, rain down on me.
Jet City Woman.
No more nights alone I'm almost home now.
Jet City Woman.
Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City.
It's about being away on the road and having a girl back home I guess, I dunno, Tate is a wondeful song writer it's probably more complex than that.
Great riffs, and a awesome opening fill. And Tates vocals...God...This guy has probably the most impressive range in metal, the man can sing.
Seattle is the Jet City. See wiki for that one. The song is about being away from his wife or girlfriend. I actually thought it could be about a woman he had in a certain city; a mistress it is tough to get away to, but given the band is from Seattle, it would also make sense if his wife were the Jet City Woman. I've spent the past 6 years jetting around Asia and can totally relate. Exotic locations and 5-star hotels and all you want to do is get back to someone.
@omiya_alien Mostly you are right, this song is exactly about Geoff's wife.

I view this song as the prog metal version of "Faithfully" honestly. The writer wants nothing more than to be with his beloved while out on the road, and the thought of being able to see her again is what allows him to keep going.
And in the case of the writer, it seems like at the end of the second verse he even admits to trying to live the "rock star" life and quickly realizes it's hollow and empty ("fortunes are lost on women I've seen, but without I can't breathe, you're the air to me"). His only true love is the only one that does it for him - no amount of shallow entertainment will ever rival the feeling he gets from being with her.
WTF does this song mean? Its a bad ass song, you got to love the gutair, I play the air guitar side by side with this guy! Awesome fucking song!
It's about the Women of Seattle
Actually, at the last performance Ryche had at the Moore in Seattle, Geoff Tate said that this song was specifically about his wife, his travels when on the road and how much he wanted to return home to her while touring.
This song gives me chills and makes me want Koolaid.
My favorite flavor is red.
I too love Koolaid, but what the fuck?
@midnightsunrising Best comment ever! And if you are reading this in 2007, I'm from the future! Advice: stay there, 2017 sucks!

I find this comment above hilarious "I've spent the past 6 years jetting around Asia and can totally relate. Exotic locations and 5-star hotels and all you want to do is get back to someone". Wow we're so impressed by your peacocking. Im sure if you had the money to stay in 5-star hotels and "jet around" for 6 years you might just find a couple of bucks for a flight back home pal!!!!!
"Jet city" is what Queensryche call Seattle, they always say that at their shows.
