County bum, this ain't worth a dad wang
Here I am washin' Cessna 204's and coulda been flying L1011's
Never in my life saw nothing like it
Hey Mr. more arm in all

Standing out here, feeling just like a schmuck with a bucket of
Soapy water and a scrub brush, too
Cussing myself, wringing my super shammy out
Kicking my butt for flunking out of pilot school
Man, these buckets sure are nasty

[R]
I'm just standing out here washing airplanes, rinse off and dry
Trying to figure out exactly where I went wrong
And wiping bird poop off these wings
Right now, I'm standing out here washing airplanes

I shoulda gone to class, partied less, studied much harder
Done anything to graduate
Instead I'm spraying Windex on some windows
And got me Armour All and tires, getting shocked by lotsa wires

Yeah, this toilet water's blue and I am too

[R]
I'm just standing out here washing airplanes, rinse off and dry
Trying to figure out exactly where I went wrong
And wiping bird poop off these wings
Right now I'm staring at my work boots up above me
I'm laid out on the runway, I'm laid out on the runway
I'm pretty sure that fat flight attendant shoved me
But I'm just standing out here washing airplanes, rinse off and dry
I'm just standing out here washing airplanes, rinse off and dry
Trying to figure out exactly where I went wrong
And wiping bird poop off these wings
Yeah, I'm just standing out here washing airplanes, no lie, lie, lie
Yeah, I'm just standing out here washing airplanes, rinse off and dry dry dry
