Final Flight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Taped my letter to the door Say the prayer I've said a thousand times before Thy kingdom come, thy will be done Leave the tarmac for one more run Do what I signed up for Near misses, close calls, never far from death's door And for all the hell I've blown through Brother, I'm tellin' you [Chorus] Say "I love you," call your mama Say you're sorry even if you don't wanna Take the time to tuck your kids in a little bit tighter tonight Make your list, check it twice And always be ready for your final flight [Verse 2] I made it home, done some livin' For all my brothers and sisters who didn't And I've come to learn our freedom is earned And you never know when it might be your turn [Chorus] So say "I love you," call your mama Say you're sorry even if you don't wanna Take the time to tuck your kids in a little bit tighter tonight Make your list, check it twice And always be ready for your final flight [Bridge] In this field of stones markin' all those gone I swear I could hear them say [Chorus] Steal a kiss, make some time Buy those tickets on that third base line Spend the afternoon havin' a cold one with your old man Every chance you can Make your list, check it twice 'Cause the world looks a whole lot different from the sky And always be ready Oh, always be ready for your final flight For your final flight
