Steve Earle Waitin' On The Sky lyrics

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 must have been a miracle now
I ever grew up at all
Singing 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
Drinkin' in the woods makin' nothing but noise?
WAITING ON THE SKY TO FALL.

Spent a lonely lifetime
Rollin' on down the line
Searching for the holy grail
Everyone's crossed my solitary mind
Leaving me such, consecrated quested fail
Come up upon an ocean and much to my chagrin
They told me that ship had sailed
Walking on the water, cause i never learned to swim
Searching for the holy grail

Searching for the holy grail, Friends
Searching for the holy grail
I went across an ocean and now I'M BACK AGAIN
SEARCHING FOR THE HOLY GRAIL.

whoop

Hangin' around a love i know, a little bit now
and I am sitting on Top Of The World
Bangin' on a guitar while the sun goes down
singing a song about a red headed girl
Most of time I would have said them days was gone
But, I'm given it another whirl
Didn't know that I was gonna live this long
now, I am sitting on Top Of The World
Sitting on Top Of The World, Y'all
Sitting on Top Of The World
Eyes wide open till the messenger calls
SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD!
