The Flyer Nanci Griffith

[Verse 1]
He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio
I was traveling to London
He was going off to Buffalo
Changing planes in Pittsburgh
We got grounded in a storm
La-la-la-la
Now, I would give anything
To be on that flyer's arm

[Verse 2]
We played cards, mostly blackjack
As we sat out on the tarmac
We sang songs we knew in Spanish
As we both loved songs of language
He'd heard me on the radio
I'd seen the flyers on San Antone
La-la-la-la
Now, I would give anything
To have that flyer for my own

[Chorus]
God bless the flyer
Who would be flying home tonight
La-la-la-la
I would give anything
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
