Big Old Jet

Flying high at thirty thousand miles
Eating salty pretzels while I'm seated by the aisle
The woman I'm in love with is on my mind
It's no big deal I'm flying for like the thousandth time

When that plane starts shaking like at Etch A Sketch erasing
You remember you're just flesh and bone
And you go from relaxing to the opposite of that shit
And you wonder if you'll ever make it home

Lord put your hands this big old jet
And carry us to safety through this wind
We all gotta die sometime but I'm ready to go yet
I just wanna see my baby again

The turbulence was worse than I've ever felt
The plane dropped, the lights went out and all the people screamed and yelled
I'm glad I told my sweet love that I loved her in that last text
And I'm hoping that won't be the last text from me that she ever gets

When that plane starts rocking, you don't have no other option
But to sit there and just hold onto your seat
And I'm not one for praying but I found myself saying
These words to whom I might be about to meet

I said Lord put your hands this big old jet
And carry us to safety through this wind
We all gotta die sometime but I'm ready to go yet
I just wanna see my baby again

Those two minutes felt like an hour
But the pilot finally regained power
He got on the intercom and said [*psht*] we're in the clear
But you could tell by his trembling voice he also felt that fear

And when we finally touched down on the land
Couples kissed, strangers hugged, and everybody clapped their hands
We were happy that everything, it went right, speaking of which
Shoutout to Orville and Wilbur for the miracle of flight

When that plane starts twitching like it's having withdrawal symptoms
You realize how fragile we all are
I left the airport quickly and my girl was there to get me
And I've never been so happy to see her car

I guess God put those hands around that big old jet
And carried us to safety through that wind
We all gotta die sometime but I wasn't ready to go just yet
And I got to see my baby again
