I grew up in a military town
|
Waitin' on the sky to fall
|
Everybody I knew hanqin' around wonderin'
|
What they'd do when the Draft Board called
|
Lookin' back it musta been a miracle
|
How I ever grew up at all
|
To sing about livin' in a military town
|
Waitin' on the sky to fall
|
Waitin' on the sky to fall, boys
|
Waitin' on the sky to fall
|
Chicken Little wasn't makin' nothin' but noise
|
Waitin' on the sky to fall
|
|
Spent a lonely lifetime rollin' down the line
|
Searchin' for the Holy Grail
|
Never once crossed my solitary mind
|
That any such consecrated quest'd fail
|
Came upon an ocean and much to my chagrin
|
They told me that ship had sailed
|
Walkin' on the water cause I never learned
|
To swin searchin' for the Holy Grail
|
Searchin' for the Holy Grail, friends
|
Searchin' for the Holy Grail
|
Been across the oceans and now I'm back again
|
Searchin' for the Holy Grail
|
|
Been around enough to know a little bit now
|
And I'm sitting on tip of the world
|
Wangin' on a guitar while the sun goes down
|
And singin a song about a redheaded girl
|
Was a time I would have said those days were gone
|
But I'm givin' it another whirl
|
Didn't know that I was gonna live this long
|
Now I'm sitting' on top of the world
|
Sittin' on top of the world, y'all
|
Sittin' on top of the world
|
Eyes wide open until the Messenger calls
|
Sittin' on top of the world
|
