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 |
|

|

|

|
