lyrics

She said 25 years to get on this plane
So she drank and she hollered and oh she complain
Her grandma had died, so then what ensued
A 25 year since, family reunion

One seat away, she sat next to me
And she wouldn’t shut up how there was no TV
She snuck in tequila where she packed her shampoo
And her worry she told me just “thank God for you”

“thank God for you because I know I can’t do it alone.
I’m trying not to bug you, I’m just anxious I can’t find my phone.
So just stick with me, you probably think I’m crazy, I’m just trying to get home.
And I don’t think I can do it alone”

So is the flight flew along, my eyes fell shut
But her voice, it grew louder and much more distraught
Perhaps other people, they got more annoyed,
As the innocent ears on the plane, she destroyed.
But for me, I got a little bit sad, that her predisposition predicted so bad.
Even this lady I didn’t know,
Was also afraid of being alone

thank God for you because I know I can’t do it alone.
I’m trying not to bug you, I’m just anxious I can’t find my phone.
So just stick with me, you probably think I’m crazy, I’m just trying to get home.
And I don’t think I can do it alone

I heard your whole story,
Feigning asleep
Is she fell down and down to a miserable heap
But she wasn’t bad or meant any harm, she just needed a friend and a comforting arm
I know she is there now braving her journey
Just hopefully now, she’s held by a family

thank God for you because I know I can’t do it alone.
I’m trying not to bug you, I’m just anxious I can’t find my phone.
So just stick with me, you probably think I’m crazy, I’m just trying to get home.
And I don’t think I can do it

Do you think that I can pull through it?

Thank God I’m not doing it alone

Thank God for you

Thank God for you
