If I Could Only Fly
Merle Haggard
Almost felt you touching me just now
I wish I knew which way to turn and go
I feel so good and then I feel so bad
I wonder what I ought to do
If I could only fly if I could only fly
I’d bid this place goodbye and come and be with you
But I can hardly stand and I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
The wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday
Tell me things get better somewhere up the way
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day
And sad songs for us to bare
If I could only fly if we could only fly
If we could only fly there’d be no more lonely nights
You know sometimes I write happy songs
Then some little thing goes wrong
And I wish they all could make you smile
Coming home soon and I wanna stay
Maybe we could somehow get away
And I wish you could come with me when I go again
