lyrics

All my friends are skipping town
All my money’s been spent
I’ve been barred from going down
To all the places I once went
So I’ve been getting some perspective
Bracing for my initial descent

It’s just like drinking at the bar with a real cool view
Your seat cushion can function as a barstool too
A paper baggy might come in handy
In the seatback pocket in front of you

It’s a dive in the sky
And I know the bartender
I can’t stand when I land
I wanna stay up here forever
Chugging one after another
Can’t even remember my name
No danger drinking and flying
I got my designated pilot drop me off at the gate
Let’s turn this 747 into honky tonk heaven
I love drinking on planes

The hangovers and the hangups
Can’t get me while I’m up here
Drinking wine, crossing time zones
5 o’clock somewhere
Mile high, I’ll get dry
When I meet you down at baggage claim
Right now I’m taking the red eye
Chasing the sunlight with moonshine
And a smile on my face

Once I start I can’t stop it
Cocktails in the cockpit
I like drinking on planes
Let’s turn this 747 into honky tonk heaven
I like drinking on planes
Keep your seat buckle fastened
Compliments to the captain
I like drinking on planes
