Well I wonder how Susie is doing
At the airport in old Durango
Does Susie still work for the airlines
I pray one day they let that bitch go
Susies a big deal at the airlines
The Durango airports pretty small
She checks in and tags
And handles some baggage
You could say that sue does it all
You could say that bitch sue does it all
I flew into Durango from Denver
Where I ground checked my martin guitar
Susie took it off of that aircraft
threw it on top a luggage car
from the airplane there on the runway
through the window I witnessed it all
my axe hit the tarmac
I swear I heard the crack
That old dreadnaught took a dreadful fall
My guitar took a terrible fall
So inside I showed Susie the damage
Caused by her negligent misdeed
She denied that it even happened
Innocent was how Susie did plead
Well I implied that she was a liar
Thats when Susie made up her sick mind
Hell surely dont have
That bitch susies wrath
She was gonna my kick my ass big time
That bitch would kick my ass big time
Kick it- solo
Kick it again- solo
The next day I went back to the airport
My old six string held together with tape
Susie was on duty that morning
From that cold bitch I could not escape
She said you cant take your guitar to Texas
Because its in a soft leather case
Either leave it behind
Or a hard case go find
I swear Sue had a smile on her face
That bitch had a smile on her face
Then she showed me a rule in a rulebook
Some bs made up by the faa
I had to leave my guitar in Durango
Have it fed-exed back to LA
I borrowed an axe down in Austin
But I swore I would right susies wrong
Lawyers aint cheap
Im no litigious creep
So instead I wrote Susie a song
I wrote that bitch Susie a song
Now I think of myself as a nice guy
Usually Im polite, never rude
Course the bitchs name isnt Susie
Cause I dont want to get my ass sued
But I wonder how Angelas doing
Thats something Id sure like to know
Is Angie still there
With her pony tailed hair
At the airport in old Durango
At the airport in old Durango
