Runway Lights

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I wonder how the Yankees did tonight I sure hope grandma's doing 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 [Chorus] Lord knows I got a job to do I just can’t wait until it’s through I keep dreaming about that home bound flight Looking for those runway lights [Verse 2] 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 touching down in Tennessee My baby standing there waiting on me Tears in her eyes [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
