AIRLINE AGENT James McMurtry - D D Mister Airline Agent, won't you understand I'm a frequent traveler and a patient man But I've been mistreated just a time or two I've stood about all, I'm gonna stand from you I've got my ticket in my hand, just like everybody else
I paid my money in advance, so I could use a little help You're making such a fuss, you're holdin' up the line Just get me on the plane, everything'll be fine Chorus G D I gotta go, you gotta get me to the show A7 D 1st - Quit lookin' at my hair, just get me in the air 2nd - Quit givin' me the stare, just get me in the air 3rd - Quit starin' at my hair, just get me in the air I got a '52 Telly hangin' off of my back It fits real easy in the overhead rack If I was a guy in a suit, with a kitchen sink You'd let me right on, you wouldn't even a-blink But, a guitar you say, I gotta check it at the gate That ain't gonna happen, get your hand off the case Get your hand off the case, lest you wanna lost an arm Get outta of my face, you won't come to any harm Repeat Chorus Mister Airline Agent, is there something I missed I never seen anything quite like this I'm a frequent traveler and I've been around I've been roughed up and I've been shook down I guess your supervisor knows about your nasty attitude Givin' me a hassle just for something to do Did it make you feel like a man, well I've had about enough And I'm gonna go postal, if you don't straighten up Repeat Chorus
