If I Could Only Fly

(Waylon Jennings)



This morning as I watched a bird

just spread its wings and fly

It was then a thought came over me

And I wondered why can't I

Oh why, oh why can't I?



If I could only fly you see

A lot of problems would be gone

When you think of just

how much I'd save on shoes alone

If I could only fly.



--- Instrumental ---



I would never tear my clothes

Climbing in and out of trees

If I could only fly I'd never crawl

Or wear holes in my knees

If I could only fly.



--- Instrumental ---



How I'd love to spread my wings

And streak across the sky

I'd be off to see the world

If I could only fly.



But I'd always come right back...
