Graduated from Lincoln High, somehow I made my way through VMI
D G
Joined the Navy and I learned to fly, that's what I always dreamed of
C G
There's a hometown girl who wears my ring, her name is painted on my starboard wing
D G
Tonight I'm half a world from everything, and everyone that I love
Chorus
C G
I wonder how the Yankees did tonight, I sure hope grand- -ma's doin' alright
D
I wish I knew what momma's cookin?f for supper
C D
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her
C G
Lord knows I got a job to do, I just can't wait un- -til it's through
D G
I keep dreamin' 'bout that homebound flight, lookin' for those runway lights

Grandpa did his part for Uncle Sam, daddy did his time in Vietnam
D G
Now I'm flyin' over sea and sand through unfriendly skies
C G
Man if it was up to me, I'd be touchin' down in Tennessee
D G
My baby standin' there waitin' on me, tears in her eyes
Chorus
C G
I wonder how the Yankees did tonight, I sure hope grand- -ma's doin' alright
