Mama called this morning, said
|
'Son won't you come back home?
|
I've been feelin' good but
|
I know it won't be long.'
|
Don't keep me waiting
|
I wanna touch your face again.
|
Ohh, what a good life it's been.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Now I'm ready to fly
|
I wanna see your daddy again.
|
I'm ready to fly
|
all my family and friends.
|
I know they're out there waiting
|
in a place beyond the sky.
|
Ohh, I'm ready to fly.
|
|
Hard times it's '69
|
the war was reachin' on.
|
That's the reason my daddy left
|
and never made it back home
|
It was tough for all of us
|
but mama smiled everyday
|
Ohh, it's so hard to hear her say.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Now I'm ready to fly
|
I wanna see your daddy again.
|
I'm ready to fly
|
all my family and friends.
|
I know they're out there waiting
|
in a place beyond the sky.
|
So, I'm ready to fly.
|
|
She made sure she'd never see her cry
|
but those tears on the pillow she couldn't hide
|
|
Chorus:
|
I'm ready to fly
|
I wanna see your daddy again.
|
I'm ready to fly
|
all my family and friends.
|
I know they're out they're waiting
|
in a place beyond the sky.
