Notes About The Poem

I Want a Window Seat

I’m always hearing people say, that they’ve been here and there,
It seems they’re always travelling; they never have a care.
While all I do is work these fields, in this unforgiving heat.
The next time I make this trip, I want a window seat.
 
I’ve never been to Paris, or seen the Taj Mahal,
I hardly ever leave this farm; I scarcely move at all.
It seems that all I ever do is work, sleep and eat.
The next time I make this trip, I want a window seat.
 
This world is full of beauty, at least so I’ve been told,
I missed it all when I was young and now, I’m growing old.
My kids will still need winter coats, and shoes upon their feet.
The next time I make this trip, I want a window seat.
 
I would like to take a trip, around this world of ours.
Go someplace exotic, and act like movie stars.
But all I do is farm all day, so everyone can eat.
The next time I make this trIp want a window seat.
 
Yeah the next time I make this trip, I want to go first class,
The next time I make this trip this farm can kiss my a**
It seems I'm always working standing on my feet.
The next time I make this trip, I want a window seat.

                               (REPEAT)    

Yeah the next time I make this trip, I want to go first class,
The next time I make this trip this farm can kiss my a**
It seems I'm always working standing on my feet.
The next time I make this trip, I want a window seat...........
