lyrics:
I travel a lot
I’m a guy’s guy
I’m kinda a big shot
But don’t really like to fly
To the airport in a jiffy
Then ticketing and TSA
My boarding was little iffy
To seat 17A
Acquisitions and mergers
Is all I can see
And that damn plane’s server
It ain’t fast enough for me
Well I’m five miles up over the clouds
All alone without a friend
What the hell’s wrong with me
Watchin’ my movie end
I’m crying on a plane again
I do all my great work
And laptop creations
With economy class perks
As I fly to other nations
And I never seem to get lucky
And sit next to a babe
I got a nine-year-old from Kentucky
Watchin’ The Little Mermaid
And even though there’s no sound
I can’t help but take a sneak peak
And the tears start rolling down
When Arielle gets her feet
Well I’m five miles up over the clouds
All alone without a friend
What the hell’s wrong with me
Watchin’ her movie end
I’m crying on a plane again
I’m crying again
Well sometimes I’m white knuckled
As turbulence hits the wings
My seat belt is tight and buckled
As the bourbon in my throat stings
Across the aisle is the death trap
A movie called Toy Story 3
There’s an ankle-biter in a baseball cap
Watchin Buzz Light Year and Woody
Andy’s going off to college
He giving away all his toys
My sanity won’t acknowledge
The sadness and tears of joy
Well I’m five miles up over the clouds
All alone without a friend
What the hell’s wrong with me
Watchin’ his movie end
I’m crying on a plane again
I’m crying again
There’s no rhyme or reason
To my losing control in the air
And when it’s the holiday season
It’s especially unfair
That Elf movie is always playing
And the scene that makes me cry
Is when everyone starts singing
To make Santa’s sleigh fly
I travel a lot
I’m a guy’s guy
I’m kinda a big shot
But don’t really like to fly
‘Cause I am crying
Yes, I am crying
“Ladies and Gentleman
Welcome to Portland, Oregon
Local time is 2:17”
On a plane again
“For your safety
Please remain seated
With your seatbelts fastened
Until the Captain turns off
The fasten seatbelt sign”
Crying again
“Until we have parked at the gate
And it is safe to move about”
Crying on a plane again
Crying again
liner notes:
A cheeky song about a guy who always seems to cry when he flies - a common occurrence for all of us. Flying in planes makes us more emotional
