Runway Lights

Graduated from lincoln high

Somehow I made my way through v m

I 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 doing alright

I wish I knew what mama's cooking for

Supper I pray janey got my letter

Knows how much I love her

Lord knows I've got a job to do

I just can't wait until it's through

I keep dreaming about that homebound flight

Looking for those runway lights

Grandpa did his part for uncle sam

Daddy did his time in vietnam

Tonight I'm flying over sea and sand

Through unfriendly skies

Man if it was up to me

I'd be touching down in tennessee

My baby standing there waiting on me

With tears in her eyes

I wonder how the angels did tonight

I sure hope grandma's doing alright

I wish I knew what mom was cooking for

Supper I pray janey got my letter

Knows how much I love her

Lord knows I've got a job to do

I can't wait until it's through

I keep dreaming about that homebound flight

Looking for those runway lights

Looking for those runway lights

I can't wait to see those runway lights

Looking for those runway lights
