Default Ive written a song!!!!

Well its 1am.....bored....and the current love interest has busted me down the the "Best Friend" category...so what did i do? i sulked for a bit...cracked open a beer and wrote a song about flying...its to the tune of Billy Joels "Down Easter Alexa"....if you havent heard the song, go to youtube and hear it first...then read my lyrics....hope you guys enjoy it!
I call it........."Air Wisconsin RJ"

Well I'm a First Officer for Air Wisconsin
And I'm climbing through 10,000 Feet
We have diverted once due to weather
And I’m sure the passengers will give us heat

We took on jet fuel back in Raleigh yesterday
And left this morning as the sky was turning gray
Like all the FO’s here a crash pad is my home
I’ve busted my ass and worked my fingers to the bone

So I could fly my CRJ-200
And I fly where the radar is bleak
There are four more legs left in our pairing
And a good flight crew can't fall asleep

I've got loans to pay and children who need clothes
I know there's RFP’s out there but where God only knows
They say this airline isn’t what it used to be
But I've got passengers at the gate who count on me

So if you see my Air Wisconsin RJ
If you’re commuting home here’s the deal
Tell my wife I am Holding at RIDGY
I’ll miss my flight and my fresh home cooked meal

Now I fly my Air Wisconsin RJ
More and more miles from home every year
Since they tell me I can't have my contract
The Union says that a strike could be near.

I am a pilot like my father was before
Can't make a living as a pilot anymore
There’s no more glory in the Airline Industry
Is there a future left for AWAC guys like me???

I'm impressed with the song writing! I'm sorry to hear about the relationship bro...it's never easy, we've all been there. It gets better with every day. I'm pulling for you.

I've got a friend who's got a recording studio, we should get this song and that other one posted a month back or so that went to the tune of Nickelback's "Rockstar". So non rev on up to MSP, lay down a few tracks, then we'll put out an album and hopefully some RJ pilots will end up making the kind of money they deserve

Sorry to hear about the girl situation, I've been in the friends zone way too often with way too many girls. The worst part is you never can get out of it, it's like a tar pit.

Keep your head up though, you'll hit it off right with some lucky chica. I was making a big push to settle down with a girl earlier this semester, I had no luck by October and was really down on myself, so I stopped trying. Then over homecoming weekend I got a little sauced up, rode on my fraternity's homecoming float, pulled some random girl up onto the float with me, then wooed her with my until then unknown stripper pole skills on a friend's party bus. Now she's my girlfriend.

Sorry if this sounded like "Ask Amy" or something like that, didn't really mean to sound like the Love Doctor, just trying to spread some hope, cuz sometimes love comes and finds you.

Stay proud, and keep writing lyrics, I wanna hear more, we've got an album to produce here!!

Those lyrics really matched the song and tells it how it is. well done.

A few fighter pilots created a band called Dos Gringos, they have made some pretty good stuff as well.

Thanks for the positive input guys....ive actually been a guitar player since i was 14...i might just try and see if i can lay it down to some music....problem is that the original song calls for an accordian...cant say ive ever touched one of those...but we'll see


hey Dashdog...how long have you known me??? flyboy pulls in some pretty decent lookin chicks....you of all people should know that

On a personal note...thanks for the cheering up guys....i know there are plenty of fish out there...it just sucks cuz i was really happy with the one i caught. its foolish for me to think that dating an FA was better cuz they knew the airline game....they know it too well...well enough to know that her Captains at JB are "Set"

Ehh whatever...im done ranting....wont be the last time this sort of thing happens lol....that'll be another song...hahaha

Pretty gay song Alex.... when you are emotional why don't you eat a chocolate bar, take some Midol for your cramps, and watch Lifetime. Give up the songwriting.

Jealous cuz you have no musical talent chris??? I basically did the male version of what you said....i drank some beer (took the place of the chocolate and midol) And watched 5 episodes of "Band of brothers" cuz nothing cheers me up like watching Nazi's die...or terrorists ill take either one
