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 waitin'
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 raging on.

That's the reason my daddy left
And never made it back home
It was tough on 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
Son, I'm ready to fly
She made sure she never let us see her cryin'
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 there waiting
in a place beyond the sky.

Son
Yeah I'm ready to fly!
I wanna see your daddy again
I'm ready to fly fly fly
all my family and friends
I know they're out there waiting
In a place beyond the sky
I'm ready to fly
Yeah I'm ready to fly
I'm Ready to Fly
I'm Ready to Fly.
