Airport Blues

Richard Hamersma and Larry Nestor


Genre: Blues

The perfect song to lift your spirits while enduring one of the most annoying inconveniences of modern life—air travel! The tune will make you tap your toes and the lyrics will make you smile.



 




Well I made it to the airport
Two hours before my flight
Guess I should have left the day before
Since today nothin’s going right

Don’t mind if the frisk me
Especially if she’s cute
That never seems to happen
I always get some mean lookin’ brute

I’ve got the airport blues(airport blues)
Tired of taking off my shoes(taking off my shoes)
I’ve got a headache that’s non-stop
Yet they keep on twisting the screws
They keep twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting the screws
Giving me the air…port blues

Don’t wanna hear it’s the weather
All departures are running late
Don’t want some angry person
Saying the wrong thing at the gate

Don’t wanna wait for my luggage
Watch the bags go ‘round and ‘round
But never seeing my bags
Guess they’re off to another town

Chorus:

Never thought the plane would take off
Never thought I’d see my seat
But when the plane finally was airborne
I started feeling a little upbeat

I’ve got the airport blues(airport blues)
Tired of taking off my shoes(taking off my shoes)
I’ve got a headache that’s non-stop
Yet they keep on twisting the screws
They keep twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting the screws
Giving me the air…port blues…alright now
Whoa they keep twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting the screws
Giving me the air…port blues
I’ve got the O’Hare, Hartsfield, JFK, LAX, Dulles and BNA too
Oh baby, I’ve got the air…port  blues  uh…huh
