I grew up in a military town
Waitin' on the sky to fall
Everybody I knew hangin' around
Wonderin' what to 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
Any such consecrated quest'd fail
Come 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
I'm sitting on top of the world
Wangin' on a guitar while the sun goes down
Singin' a song about a redheaded girl
Was a time I would have said those 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
Sittin' on top of the world
Eyes wide open 'til the Messenger calls
Sittin' on top of the world
