Few years ago we took a little trip
So long, we'll send you postcards from the mighty Vegas Strip.
We took a largish airplane with their little nuts of pea,
And we caught the cruddy airplane, their service was so lean.

Required our gate and so we began a-runnin'
Heavy bags flapping thighs only ten more miles to go.
We're tired and worn but we kept on a-coming,
On down the airport hallway to the gate that's numbered fo'.

Made time by a sliver and now our plane has come.
And we were all so hungry but we couldn't get a crumb.

To my state of Tennessee is where I'm aiming to go.

My plane's late and I have to stay in this here town,
They said to take a later plane to get off of the ground.
Didn't offer any bed and no room for my behind,
Yes they do stand and scoff and yes, I certainly do mind.
