There was once a great hero in my life who said to me, and I quote:

That sentiment has stuck with me for years, and inspired this song.

It's an a cappella about things being good, but not great. It's about life not going the way you thought it would, and how to cope.

This song features my actual singing. You've been warned.

Lyrics

I still fly coach, coach, coach...
I still fly coach, coach, coach... (doo doo doo...)

I ain't rich yet, no siree
Much as I am trying to be
Guess I'm just too lazy
Ha ha ha, woe is me!

Rented house, I got a good deal
Pre-owned car, I got for a steal
Eating out whenever I feel
Could be worse, my roommates agree

Hoo hoo-oo (ha ha ha)
Hoo hoo hoo (ha ha ha)
Hoo hoo hoo (ha ha ha)
Hoo hoo-oo, hoo hoo-oo

This ain't where I thought I'd be
When I first turned thirty three
But life gets so crazy
Sure as hell, it ain't free

I thought maybe by this time
I'd be somewhere drinking wine
I don't seem to have a dime
Don't think I'm next in line

I still fly coach, coach, coach... (doo doo doo...)
I still fly coach, coach, coach... (doo doo doo...)
I still fly coach!
