V1: Dexter left his family, back in 42
Motherland was calling, for the Davis family truth
Following in the footsteps, of his father years before
A paper boy from Mayfield, fuelling the war
(chorus)
Boom, Boom, Bang..they fly across the land
Boom, Boom, Bang..In Dexter's big tin can
V2: Sign your name and choose your fate boy, Need more men to spare
Dexter joined the 466, to fight them from the air
Dexter was a captain, Six men in his crew
Halifax and Lancaster bombers,From Lincoln field they flew
(chorus)
Boom, Boom, Bang..they fly across the land
Boom, Boom, Bang..In Dexter's big tin can
(Bridge)
How high, tell me how high do they go
How long to the long life coming home
It's true so much it's over so many seems so few
(solo)
V3: Strung out all of Europe, like bursting through the sky
Flying through a mine field, through the needles eye
Hoping for a miracle, to guide them all back home
Dexter you can do it, only you alone
(chorus)
Boom, Boom, Bang..they fly across the land
Boom, Boom, Bang..In Dexter's big tin canX2
