What are the lyrics?

Never left the state

But she’s flying to Oregon

Rekindled her Arkansas

High school boyfriend

It’s been 15 years

Since they’ve even held hands

And she’s telling this all to her seatmates

She’s nervous on planes

And maybe in general

She’s chomping on chewing gum

Got thoughts on millennial

Sons 16 and 20

She left them at home

And she’s sitting in seat 16B

The fasten seatbelt signal is bright

And these people are traveling all day and night

We land at three

Hopefully

There’s a first time for everything

My ex husband’s fine

He’s a natural father

He works in IT

And he’s got a stepdaughter

I think I could be at least one half as happy

Does my makeup still look ok

She undoes her seatbelt

She walks to the bathroom

We look at each other

And breathe in her perfume

And think

And we think

And we think

The fasten seatbelt signal is bright

And some people act busy even up in the sky

Look at me

I believe

There’s a first time for everything

And we’re all on her side as she gets up to leave

And we tell her good luck but it’s not guaranteed

And we look at each other and we want to believe

The fasten seatbelt signal is bright

And these people seem earnest but might not be right

And then she leaves

Hopefully

There’s a first time for everything

There’s a first time for everything
