I wanta welcome all y'all to Southern Air We'll be ready for takeoff shortly, just as soon as they clear the runway There was a gun rack in the cockpit It beat all I'd ever seen They had complimentary copies Of Mechanics Magazine We peeled rubber on the runway Looking out my window screen I saw an "eat more possum" bumper sticker Stuck out on the wing Southern Air, Southern Air Flying high over Dixie Going where no others dare Southern Air, we're Southern Air Yeah, we'll take you to your kinfolks But you better have time to spare Yeah, there I was Must have been 500 feet over them pine trees Duck had done fainted on takeoff Had his little head layin' on my arm there, his little tongue just all hangin' out We flew past Stone Mountain, crossed that Alabama state line Got so close to Enterprise you could almost see that Boll Weevil wine Then I heard this sharp ringin' in my ear Howdy! My name is Miss Pearl and I'll be your stewardess for the duration of this flight As you can see Captain Clower has turned off the No Chewin' sign Now y'all feel free to kick your shoes off, get up, roam around, get to know your neighbors Right now I just want to get to know this good-looking, handsome young hunk of man right cheer...

Nothin' but feathers Then I heard that voice again comin' in over the intracom... I can see Yazoo City from here! Whoo! Now don't y'all fret about that landin' none, I got up early this mornin' And put on a brand new set of them big foot mud grippin' tires Through rain or shine, we stayed behind Lord it was quite a show How that duck beat us to Yazoo Well, I guess I'll never know And that moony girl they called Miss Pearl Just wouldn't let me go While that Captain kept on talkin' On his 2-way radio Southern Air, Southern Air Uncle Mercy! Can you get them cows off the runway? Southern Air, Southern Air
