Ready to Fly

Mamma called this morning, said 'Son won't you come back home? I've 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 it 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. Oh, I'm ready to fly. She made sure that we would never see her cry 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 So 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. --- Ready to Fly - Lynyrd Skynyrd
