Waitin' on the Sky
Steve Earle
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I grew up in a military town Waiting on the sky to fall Everybody I knew, hangin' around Wondering what to do When the draft board calls Looking back it musta have been a miracle now I ever grew up at all To sing about living in a military town Waitin' on the sky to fall Waitin' on the sky to fall, boys Waitin' on the sky to fall Chicken Little wasn't makin' nothing but noise? Waiting on the sky to fall. Spent a lonely lifetime Rollin' on down the line Searchin' for the holy grail Never once crossed my solitary mind That any such consecrated quest'd fail Come up upon an ocean and much to my chagrin They told me that ship had sailed Walkin' on the water, 'cause I never learned to swim Searchin' for the holy grail Searchin' for the holy grail, friends Searchin' for the holy grail Been across the ocean and now I'm back again Searchin' for the holy grail. Whoop Been around enough to know a little bit now And I am sitting on top of the world Wangin' on a guitar while the sun goes down And singin' a song about a redheaded girl Was a time I would have said them days was gone But, I'm givin' it another whirl Didn't know that I was gonna live this long Now, I'm sittin' on top of the world Sittin' on top of the world, y'all Sitting on top of the world Eyes wide open till the messenger calls Sittin' on top of the world!
