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
I gotta [G]go, you gotta get me to the [D]show
1st - Quit lookin' at my [A7]hair, just get me in the [D]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
