Ready To Fly

Mama called this morning said 'Son won't you come back home I ain't been feelin' good and I know it won't be long' Don't keep me waiting I wanna touch your face again Oh what a good life it's been 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 I'm ready to fly Hard times of '69 The war was ragin' 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 Oh it's so hard to hear her say 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 let us see her cry But those tears on the pillow she couldn't hide 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
