Lyrics
I grew up in a military town Waitin' on the sky to fall Everybody I knew hanqin' around wonderin' What they'd do when the Draft Board called Lookin' back it musta been a miracle How I ever grew up at all To sing about livin' 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' nothin' but noise Waitin' on the sky to fall Spent a lonely lifetime rollin' down the line Searchin' for the Holy Grail Never once crossed my solitary mind That any such consecrated quest'd fail Came upon an ocean and much to my chagrin They told me that ship had sailed Walkin' on the water cause I never learned To swin searchin' for the Holy Grail Searchin' for the Holy Grail, friends Searchin' for the Holy Grail Been across the oceans and now I'm back again Searchin' for the Holy Grail Been around enough to know a little bit now And I'm sitting on tip 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 those days were gone But I'm givin' it another whirl Didn't know that I was gonna live this long Now I'm sitting' on top of the world Sittin' on top of the world, y'all Sittin' on top of the world Eyes wide open until the Messenger calls Sittin' on top of the world
