[Verse]
GI grew up in a military town waiting on the sky to fall
Everybody I knew hanging around Dwondering what to do when the GDraft Board called
GLooking back it musta been a miracle, now I ever grew up at all
To sing about living in a military town, Dwaiting on the sky to fall G
[Chorus]
CWaiting on the sky to fall, boys, Gwaiting on the sky to fall
Chicken Little wasn't making nothing but noise, Dwaiting on the sky to fall G
[Solo]

GSpent a lonely lifetime rolling down the line, searching for the Holy Grail
Never once crossed my solitary mind that Dany such consecrated Gquest?fd fail
GCome upon an ocean and much to my chagrin, they told me that ship had sailed
Walking on the water cause I never learned to swing Dsearching for the Holy GGrail
[Chorus]
CSearching for the Holy Grail, friends, Gsearching for the Holy Grail
Been across the oceans and now I?fm back again, Dsearching for the Holy Grail
[Solo]

GBeen around enough to know a little bit now and I?fm sitting on tip of the world
Wanging on a guitar while the sun goes down and Dsinging a song about a Gredheaded girl
GWas a time I would have said those days were gone, but I?fm giving it another whirl
Didn't know that I was gonna live this long, now I?fm Dsitting?f on top of the world G
[Chorus]
CSitting on top of the world, y?fall, Gsitting on top of the world
Eyes wide open until the Messenger calls, Dsitting on top of the world G
