Waitin' on the Sky

I grew up in a military town

Waiting on the sky to fall

Everybody I knew hanging around wondering

What they’d do when the Draft Board called

Looking back, it must have been a miracle

How I ever grew up at all

To sing about living in a military town

Waiting on the sky to fall

Waiting on the sky to fall, boys

Waiting on the sky to fall

Chicken Little wasn't making nothing but noise

Waiting on the sky to fall

Spent a lonely lifetime rolling down the line

Searching for the Holy Grail

Never once crossed my solitary mind

That any such consecrated quest’d fail

Came upon an ocean and much to my chagrin

They told me that ship had sailed

Walking on the water 'cause I never learned to swim

Searching for the Holy Grail

Searching for the Holy Grail, friends

Searching for the Holy Grail

Been across the oceans and now I’m back again

Searching for the Holy Grail

Been around enough to know a little bit now

And I’m sittin' on top of the world

Wanging on a guitar while the sun goes down

Singing a song about a redheaded girl

Was a time I would have said those days was gone

But I’m giving it another whirl

Didn't know that I was gonna live this long

Now I’m sittin’ on top of the world

Sittin' on top of the world, y’all

Sittin' on top of the world

Eyes wide open until the messenger calls

Sittin' on top of the world
