I sail in the summer and watch the fire in the winter, and every August I live at Pennsic.

Oh, well, just gotta hang in until the wind changes direction again.

Just got in from Reno after 21 hours in flight.
Missed all my connections and it somehow doesn't seem quite right
That the desert snow would make it go
Harder on the turnaround
But life isn't fair, it's just what's there
At least that's what I've found.

The plane was late from Phoenix, and we had to de-ice twice
Because the rain and hail were falling somewhere
So everybody was paying the price.
In Phoenix it was bad the only flight they had
Was to Vegas where I might have a shot
