Lyrics
Tribute To Chuck Yeager
1St Verse
When Chuck Yeager flew, the sky turned black
All the German fighters, came up to attack
But he had Eagle eyes he, knew how to shoot
When he opened up the sky's for the red white and blue
2Nd Verse
After the war, out at Muroc Lake
Glamorous Glennis was the name of the plane
He broke the Sound Barrier, made the first sonic boom
When he opened up the sky's ,for the Red,White,and Blue
Chorus
Pancho's Fly In Bar, was his watering hole
Some of those stories ,can never be told
He drank with the pilots, and he fought with um too
When he opened up the sky's for the Red ,White, and Blue
3Rd verse
He trained Americas first Astronauts
Then he went ahead and fought, over in Vietnam
He retired as a General, Before he was through
When he opened up the sky's for the Red,white,And Blue
(Repeat Chorus)
