John Paciga - Flight Delayed Lyrics

The airport's quieter than normal tonight
Sitting here waiting to board my flight
They just announced an hour-long delay
Guess I could read that book I brought along
But I think I'd much rather write a song
And watch these people curse the TSA
Think of all the meetings they might miss
Of all the boys they'll have to wait to kiss
Of all the wives and mothers worried sick
Yeah it really sucks when your flight's delayed
And all you want is to fly up and away
Well we've boarded the plane, we're about to take off
But wait that's the captain on the intercom
And he's breaking the news that we've been delayed another hour and seven minutes
These people are pissed and frankly so am I
We just want to get to where we're going before we die
Think of all the mistakes they can't undo
Of all the people whose planes already flew
Of all the ones that never got to land
Yeah it really sucks when your flight's delayed
And all you want is to fly up and away
Well there's no such thing as a direct flight to glory
And each delay's part of the story
This time that you're biding's a wave that you're riding into the shore
There will come a day when nothing's in your way anymore
But it still really sucks when your flight's delayed
And all you want is to fly up and away
And when you find your own flight delayed
Just remember you'll fly back home someday
