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
