lyrics

Well it's Monday morning at that Nashville airport
My uniform is clean they call me Airport Joe
I buy my daydreams with these low wages
Let em fly just as high as they can go

I clean the filthy bathrooms for the general public
It's hardly a pleasure man I'm happy to tell you about it
Humanity is just too deep and cruel
Ain't no telling what these people will do

and there is no shame from my vantage point
I'm an airport worker yes I'm here for you
you got somewhere to go so you step on me
somewhere to be, hell it's all about you

And all I want is a good life
Tell me the price
Tell me the price for it now
I've worked hard
Don't know what for
They call me Airport Joe
Call me Airport Joe

Well I always saw myself in that music business
Big Wigs just throwing money all over my songs
I wouldn't have to wear this uniform ever
Out on the tour bus where I belong

But I'm driving home from work
on these bald tires
Spinning daydreams of being out on tour
I 'll get out there and I'll melt those faces
Toothbrush on the dashboard
guitars in their cases

I could be rubbing elbows with some of those
Pseudo Noble, Salt of the Earth, Nashville Posers
But I wake up from my dream and the toilets flushing
Hell, I just found myself ten years older

And all I want is a good life
Tell me the price
Tell me the price for it now
I've worked hard
Don't know what for
They call me Airport Joe
