Flying with the Delta, flying round the USA,
Flying with the Delta, flying round the USA,
Leaving in the morning, hoping to arrive some day.

Well I woke up this morning, Delta blues was on my mind,(X2)
When I landed here, found they'd left my luggage behind.

Flew me down to Dallas, left my luggage in JFK
Yes they flew me down to Dallas, luggage still in JFK,
Well they tell me it aint lost, just mislocated for a day.

Aint got no clean shirt, no clean socks or drawers,(X2)
Smell like a Jackass an' everybody knows the cause.

Flying with the Delta, A New Experience they say,(X2)
Man, I'll take the old one, it was better any day.

I'm through with travelling, gonna stay at home and cry(X2)
If I have to travel theres no way I'm gonna fly.

So I'm walkin' to Missouri, just the way the old song say,
Walkin' to Missouri, just like Ole Guy Mitchell say,
This robin's broke and busted courtesy of Delta USA.

That the sort of thing you had in mind Susan? I am writing this in the Uk, but I empathise with you, In the last few years every internal journey , even in a country as small as ours, is a whole new adventure.
