Sergeant Foster, tell me now straight
Four thousand pounds of fire and we're in overweight
You say you don't believe we'll ever get her off the ground
Don't worry, sergeant she ain't never let me down
No she ain't never let me down
Up here with the birds and the angels and the bombs
Eighty-nine missions and I ain't twenty-one
Thinking of my mother and the girl I left behind
Come on silver darling, we were born to fly
Yeah we were born to fly
And my Catherine, carry me on your wings
To Lake Michigan and childhood dreams
Where the Red Arrow Highway cuts right through our town
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
Remember them German boys from Chicago town
Marching down main street and nobody made a sound
I wasn't but a child then, and I ain't much older now
Looking back through the smoke and flames, they never saw it coming down
No they never saw it coming down
And my Catherine, carry me on your wings
To Lake Michigan and childhood dreams
Where the Red Arrow Highway cuts right through our town
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
Traveled across the ocean, been all around this land
Pontedera, Italy
got drunk in Paris, France
Crossed that old Rhine River, can't be much longer now
Have you heard the news today? We're all heroes now!
Yeah we're all heroes now
And my Catherine, carry me on your wings
To Lake Michigan and childhood dreams
Where the Red Arrow Highway cuts right through our town
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
