The Ballad Of Steve

(album: Buddies - 2011)

Let me tell a little story about a flight attendant
Who now stands in court as a lone defendant
After twenty long years in a job that tough
He decided one day that he'd had enough

Steve had to leave
Steve had to leave

As the plane touched down in Philadelphia
One old lady didn't do what Steve had told her
She got up to get her bags while the plane was still moving
Steve marched down the aisle all disapproving

Steve was polite
but he knew he was right

Steve always did the best that he could
He knew that when he finally left, he had to make it good
So Steve had an awesome exit planned
Steve is the fucking man

Steve was a bro
Steve had to go

The old woman didn't listen to what Steve had said
Yes she pulled down her baggage and it hit him in the head
So he went back to the front and he got up on the mic
And he spoke to all the passengers and caller her on her shite

Steve spoke the truth
with a cuss word or two

Steve pulled up the lever and down fell the chute
And then he went to the drinks trolley and he grabbed a beer or two
And just before he jumped off the plane, he turned and yelled:
"I'm out of here you fuckers, I'll see you all in hell."

Steve was a bro
Steve had to go

Steve always did the best that he could
He knew that when he finally left, he had to make it good
So Steve had an awesome exit planned
Steve is the fucking man
Steve is the fucking man
