The Lyrics

A ballad to the current state of air travel.
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to soar.
Each one will cost me twenty five more.
To say this will be fun would be a lie.

Two hour line at security,
And I’ve misplaced my photo I.D.
Already I’m so stressed out I could cry.

So kick me and hassle me
‘cause my flight won’t wait for me.
Hold me so I can’t make gate on time.

I’m grievin’ on a jet place
And it’s a big colossal pain.
Oh, babe, I hate to fly.

There’s so many things they’ve overlooked.
The flight I’m on is overbooked.
My E-ticket, it don’t mean a thing.

Every takeoff now is quite delayed.
Every on board snack has a price to pay.
And I don’t think my bags are under wing.

So kick me and hassle me
‘cause my flight won’t wait for me.
Hold me so I can’t make gate on time.

I’m grievin’ on a jet place
And it’s a big colossal pain.
Oh, babe, I hate to fly.

Now the time has come to land.
To see a runway would sure be grand.
This holding pattern makes me want to cuss.

Dream about an on time flight
Back in the days when things went right.
When I come home, I’ll take a Greyhound bus.

So kick me and hassle me
‘cause my flight won’t wait for me.
Hold me so I can’t make gate on time.

I’m grievin’ on a jet place
And it’s a big colossal pain.
Oh, babe, I hate to fly.

Next: "Thievin' on a Jet Plane," about Sarah shafting taxed Alaskans by taking her inbred family to events to which they weren't invited.

Sad thing is that this song is practically a documentary of a typical flight....:( The current state of air travel is Amtrack's best advertising in decades!
