  • I took two weeks vacation for the honeymoon
    A couple tickets all inclusive down in Cancun
    I couldn't get my money back so I'm in seat 7A
    I'm getting drunk on a plane

    I bet the fella on the aisle thought I was crazy
    'Cause I taped your picture to the seatback right beside me
    Now I've got empty mini bottles fillin' both our trays
    Hmm, I'm getting drunk on a plane

    Buyin' drinks for everybody
    But the pilot, it's a party
    Got this 737 rocking like a G6
    Stewardess is somethin' sexy
    Leanin' pourin' Coke and whiskey
    Told her about my condition
    Got a little mile-high flight attention
    It's Mardi Gras up in the clouds
    I'm up so high, may never come down
    I'll try anything to drown out the pain
    They all know why I'm getting drunk on a plane

    We had this date marked on the calendar forever
    We'd take that new wed limo airport ride together
    I feel like a plastic groom alone there at the top of the cake
    So hey, I'm getting drunk on a plane

    Buyin' drinks for everybody
    But the pilot, it's a party
    Got this 737 rocking like a G6
    Stewardess is somethin' sexy
    Leanin' pourin' Coke and whiskey
    Told her about my condition
    Got a little mile-high flight attention
    It's Mardi Gras up in the clouds
    I'm up so high, may never come down
    I'll try anything to drown out the pain
    They all know why I'm getting drunk on a plane

    On my way home I'll bump this seat right up to first class
    So I can drink that cheap champagne out of a real glass
    And when we land I'll call her up and tell her kiss my ass
    'Cause hey, I'm drunk on a plane

    Buyin' drinks for everybody
    But the pilot, it's a party
    Got this 737 rocking like a G6
    Stewardess is somethin' sexy
    Leanin' pourin' Coke and whiskey
    Told her about my condition
    Got a little mile-high flight attention
    It's Mardi Gras up in the clouds
    I'm up so high, may never come down
    I'll try anything to drown out the pain
    They all know why I'm getting drunk on a plane

    I'm getting drunk on a plane
    I might be passed out
    In the baggage claim, hmm
    But right now
    I'm drunk on a plane Writer/s: Chris Tompkins, Dierks Bentley, Josh Kear
