Ready To Fly

[Verse 1]

Mama called this morning, said

'Son won't you come back home?

I ain't been feeling 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

[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

I'm ready to fly

[Verse 2]

Hard times of '69

The war was raging 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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

She made sure she'd never let us see her cry

But those tears on the pillow she couldn't hide

[Chorus]
