Had to catch a plan to Nashville but was running oh so late
Checked my luggage at the curb and prayed the plane would wait
I looked like OJ Simpson, racing for gate three
The pilot turned the engines on and I yell `Wait for me!`
The flight was overbooked and there was someone in my seat
So they took me up to first classs where they get real food to eat
I buckled up, we took off things turned out after all
Til the pilot said `Welcome to..` I`d flied to Omaha!
Chorus:
First class wrong flight,
What a situation
First class wrong flight
Shoulda checked the destination
I sat there 20 minutes just deciding what to do
I guess I could take up skydiving or hijack all the crew,
I thought why should I sweat it, I`ll eat my steak and smile
It`s not important where I go I`m going there in style
Chorus
Styling comfort, maybe grand,
But it`s important where you land
Make sure the way you choose is right
Well I won`t be eating peanuts or hearing something cry
I`ll have a lot more leg room it`s the only way to fly
I`ll get the royal treatment those in coach will envy me
But when we touch down they`ll be where they wanna be
Chorus 2x
...always check the destination
children you gone end up where you don`t wanna be
Oh it`s awful!
You lose your luggage,
you can`t find you friends, it`s terrible,
I hate it
