Mamma called this morning, said

Son won't you come back home?

I ain't been feelin' good but

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

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

Oh, I'm ready to fly

Hard times was '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 mamma 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

So now I'm ready to fly

She made sure she’d never let us see her crying

But those tears on the pillow she couldn't hide

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, now 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

I'm ready to fly

I'm ready to fly

I'm ready to fly

Fly, fly, fly
