Runway Lights

Graduated from
Lincoln High
Somehow I made my way through
VMI Joined the
Navy and I learned to fly
Thats what
I always dreamed of
Theres a hometown girl who wears my ring
Her name is painted on my starboard wing
Tonight Im half a world from everything
And everyone that
I love. I wonder how the
Yankees did tonight
I sure hope grandmas doin alright
I wish I knew what mommas 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 cant wait until its 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
Im flying over sea and sand
Through unfriendly skies
Man if it was up to me
Id 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 grandmas doin alright
I wish I knew what mommas 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 cant wait until its through
I keep dreamin bout that homebound flight
Looking for those runway lights.
