Graduated from Lincoln High
|
Somehow I made my way through VMI
|
Joined the Navy and I learned to fly
|
That's what I always dreamed of
|
There's a hometown girl who wears my ring
|
Her name is painted on my starboard wing
|
Tonight I'm half a world from everything
|
And everyone that I love.
|
|
I wonder how the Yankees did tonight
|
I sure hope grandma's doin' alright
|
I wish I knew what momma's cooking for supper
|
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her
|
|
Lord knows I got a job to do
|
I just can't wait until it's through
|
I keep dreamin' bout that homebound flight
|
Looking for those runway lights.
|
|
Grandpa did his part for Uncle Sam
|
Daddy did his time in Vietnam
|
Now I'm flying over sea and sand
|
Through unfriendly skies
|
Man if it was up to me
|
I'd be touchin' down in Tennessee
|
My baby standing there waiting on me
|
Tears in her eyes
|
|
I wonder how the Yankees did tonight
|
I sure hope grandma's doin' alright
|
I wish I knew what momma's cooking for supper
|
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her
|
|
Lord knows I got a job to do
|
I can't wait until it's through
|
I keep dreamin' bout that homebound flight
|
Looking for those runway lights.
|
Looking for those runway lights.
|
Looking for those runway lights.
