Billy Ray Cyrus - Runway Lights lyrics
Artist: Billy Ray Cyrus
album: I'm American
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 Yankees did tonight
I sure hope grandma's doin' alright
I wish I knew what mama's cooking for supper
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her
Lord knows I got a job to do
I just can't wait until it's through
I keep dreamin' 'bout that home bound flight
Looking for those runway lights
♪
Grandpa did his part for Uncle Sam
Daddy did his time in Vietnam
Now I'm flying over sea and sand
Through unfriendly skies
Man, if it was up to me
I'd be touchin' down in Tennessee
My baby standing there, waiting on me
With tears in her eyes
I wonder how the Yankees did tonight
I sure hope grandma's doin' alright
I wish I knew what mama's cooking for supper
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her
Lord knows I got a job to do
I can't wait until it's through
I keep dreamin' bout that home bound flight
Looking for those runway lights, ooh
Looking for those runway lights
I can't wait to see those runway lights
Looking for those runway lights
I'm coming home
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 Yankees did tonight
I sure hope grandma's doin' alright
I wish I knew what mama's cooking for supper
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her
Lord knows I got a job to do
I just can't wait until it's through
I keep dreamin' 'bout that home bound flight
