Middle Seat Blues

My bags are packed the night before
I'm trying to check in
The airline site must be down
Won't let me login
The airport agent tries to help
There's one last empty seat
She hands me my boarding pass
Zone 5 seat 30 B
I've got a middle seat
I got a middle seat
Airline makes me pay my dues
I got the middle seat
The middle seat blues

Zone 5, I'm the last to board
The luggage bins are full
Nowhere to fit my roller bag
I try to tug and pull
The flight attendant tries to help
Her voice is soft and sweet
Sorry sir, that bag's gotta go
Underneath your seat
I got a middle seat
I got a middle seat
Airline makes me pay my dues
I got the middle seat
The middle seat blues

The plane takes off, I close my eyes
Just trying to relax
The space is tight, can't stretch my legs
My seat it won't lean back
My knees are up, my back is hunched
Can't put my tray on down
Nowhere to rest my elbows
Trying not to frown
I got a middle seat
I got a middle seat
Airline makes me pay my dues
I got the middle seat
The middle seat blues

Forty minutes into the flight
I really got to pee
Probably shouldn't have drunken
All that strong black coffee
The aisle seat fella's got to get up
I climb out of my seat
It feels so good to stretch my legs
Stand up on my feet
I got a middle seat
I got a middle seat
Airline makes me pay my dues
I got the middle seat
The middle seat blues

The airplane lands, I disembark
It's been a flight from hell
I spot a friend, wavin' at me
Across the luggage carousel
His wife is there to pick him up
They offer me a ride
I climb into their back seat now
There's a kid on either side
I got a middle seat
I got a middle seat
Guess I'm still paying my dues
I got the middle seat
The middle seat blues

(Not again)
(Same story every time I try to check in)
(Why me?)
(C'mon)
