From the recording Flying Coach
This song is certainly based on a true story...If you've flown, especially out of OTH (Coos Bay/North Bend), you will understand.
Lyrics
Flying Coach (to a first class someone that I know)
I’m at the airport now, past security
Carrying on my guitar but I had to pay an extra fee
I can’t wait till I get there, we’ll head out to the show
Flying coach to a first class someone that I know
The plane is rough
The seats are small
They charged me for my water
and that’s not all
The lines are long
Another delay
They lost my bags,
but at least I’m on my way
I heard the weather’s fine there, this time of year
I’m going to hurry up and wait and order another beer
Through the line onto the plane, looking for my row
Flying coach to a first class someone that I know
Chorus
The lady sitting next to me smells a little funny
She’s hogging up the armrest, she ain’t no playboy bunny
The asked me if I’d like to buy a blanket and pillow
Flying coach to a first class someone that I know
Chorus
I’ll just close my eyes and enjoy the turbulence
Flying or driving, which is worse? I’m sitting on the fence
Try and enjoy the torture, looking out the window
Flying coach to a first class someone that I know
Chorus
• Flying coach to a first class someone that I know
