TRAVELLIN' PRAYER

(hey lord-would you look out for me tonight and make sure i'm gonna be alright until i'm home and here with we...)

st. louis mo.
1985? 86?

i'm flying home for christmas

thru-chicago?-boston?
houston? (we have a problem here)
i cannot recall-no matter

storms raging-flight delayed-45 minutes
(in-coming plane late)

we finally board-sitting on the tarmac...
cockpit comes on: if (pabloshouse) is aboard-please pull on flight-attendant call button
ok? what's this about-stewardess responds
thank u-more info coming...

"we are 5th in line for take-off-we should be airborn soon
thank u for your patience "

we finally take-off
ac comes on full-blast
bev cart coming-thank god!

cockpit reports:

sorry folks that we are 6o minutes or so behind schedule
but due to the fact that
air-traffic control
has a friend on board...

we are elevating to a higher airspace-
and should land in islip
right about on time

(the cabin exploded with applause) ((hoots & hollars))
