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.

I wonder how the angels did tonight
I sure hope grandma is doind alright
I wish I knew what moma is cooking for soupper
I pray jane has got my letter know how much I love her

Chorus
Lord knows I got a job to do
I can't wait 'til it's through
I keep dreamin' bout that homebound flight
Looking for those runway lights

Grandpa did his part...
Daddy did his time in vietnam
Now I am flying over see and sand
... sky... feels up to me
I'll be touching down on tenesse
My baby is... with tears in her eyes
I wonder how the... did tonight
I sure hope grandma is doind alright
I wish I knew what moma is cooking for soupper
I pray jane has got my letter know how much I love her

Chorus
Lord knows I got a job to do
I can't wait 'til it's through
I keep dreamin' bout that homebound flight
Looking for those runway lights
Looking for those runway lights
Looking for those runway lights
