Flying Fortress of the Heart

Lyrics:
She's driving in the rivets
On a new B-17
For her it's more than just doing her part
See her husband is a pilot
Over European skies
So every rivet's driven from the heart
As another Flying Fortress
Goes rolling off the line
She wonders if it's one that he will fly
She's done her very best
Now it's in the hands of God
And says a silent prayer as it goes by
(Chorus)
Flying Fortress of the heart
Wings of freedom in the air
Every wife, mother, and girlfriend
Ask to bless you in their prayer
Please protect the ones they love
And they entrust to you
Every husband, son, and boyfriend
Have someone to come home to
When her work day's over
She curls up in his chair
Then opens up a letter that he wrote
He said: "Just one more mission
Then I'll be coming home."
Just one more night she has to pray and hope
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
She's driving to the airport
'cause her husband's coming home
Sees him stepping off the plane and then
Giving into tears
As she runs across to hold him
Thankful to be in his arms again
(Chorus)
(Tag)
Please protect the ones they love
And they entrust to you
Every husband, son, and boyfriend
Have someone to come home to
Every husband, son, and boyfriend
Have someone to come home to
(End)
Flying Fortress of the heart
