[Intro - Philip talking]
Yeah...
Highlands Ranch, four AM, baby
Philip Rehberger, Christmas flight champ
Maria, Liam, Ava, Iyla, Tessa —
Six bags, Thule on the Lexus, stroller on the porch
United to Sea-Tac, Tahoe waiting on the other end
This what it do...

[Hook]
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Highlands Ranch to Sea-Tac, Daddy at the controller

[Verse 1]
What it do, four AM and the alarm hit hard
Maria up before me, ten steps ahead, on guard
Wake Liam first — "boy, we got a flight to catch"
Half-dreaming, mumbling, can't even unlatch

Pull Ava out the bed, she crying 'bout her shoes
"Daddy, where my pink ones, somebody pulled the loose"
Iyla coming down the stairs with her blanket and a bear
Tessa on my shoulder, she don't even care

Six bags packed by Maria the night before
Thule on the Lexus roof, four bags strapped down secure
Two more in the trunk, stroller folded by the door
Garage door rolling up, sky still pitch black for sure
Buckle four kids in the back, hit the early-morning track

E-470 to Peña Boulevard, that's the airport line
Daybreak on the windshield, sun coming up just fine
Pull to United departures, hazards flashing bright
Maria, Iyla, Tessa step into the morning light
Six bags off the Thule, two car seats, two boosters tight

Skycap rolling the cart, curb-check coming through
"See you at CLEAR" — Maria wave, Tessa on her hip too
Liam, Ava, me — drive to Pikes Peak shuttle lot
Park the Lexus, two seats in the back holding the bigs hot
Blue line shuttle to the terminal, find Maria at CLEAR

[Hook]
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Highlands Ranch to Sea-Tac, Daddy at the controller

[Verse 2]
CLEAR podium, iris scan us through clean
Skip the TSA line, that's the CLEAR routine
Bag drop, X-ray belt, the gear running through
Tessa lifted from the stroller, baby in arms too

Pull the laptops, pull the snacks, take the boots off the ground
Liam emptying his pockets — Lego trip the alarm sound
"Sir, what is this?" — TSA hold up the brick
"Lego, ma'am, just Lego" — that's a Liam pick

Wave us through, Maria scoop up half the gear
United gate B-fifty-two, the longest hall is near
Tessa in the stroller, three kids walking late
Liam asking "Daddy, when do we eat?"
Maria pull a granola bar out, that's the bait

Boarding call hit, Group Four, that's our spot
Stroller gate-checked at the door, yellow tag, hot
Strap into the seats, Tessa on Maria's lap
Liam by the window watching the runway map

[Hook]
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Highlands Ranch to Sea-Tac, Daddy at the controller

[Verse 3]
Wheels up at seven, sun coming through the right
Liam's nose on the glass, "Daddy, look at the height"
Cruise hit, three tablets up, three pairs of headphones tight
Tessa nursing on Maria, calm through the flight

Two hours in the air, smooth as it could be
Then the descent hit and Tessa lose all degree
Ears popping hard, baby start to scream
Whole row turn to look — that's the family theme

Bottle in her mouth, applesauce pouch on deck
Maria swaying her, Daddy patting her neck
Touch down at Sea-Tac, Tessa crying to the gate
Stroller back from gate-check, she calm at any rate

Walk down to baggage claim, six bags off the belt
Pacific Northwest air hit, mountain cold felt
Stroller from the gate, Tessa rolling inside
Tahoe at the rental counter — University Place ride

[Hook]
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Christmas flight, six bags and a stroller
Highlands Ranch to Sea-Tac, Daddy at the controller

[Outro — Philip talking]
