Silver Wings

Mel Tillis · Welcome to Mel Tillis Country [MGM] [1976]

(Merle Haggard)



Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They're taking you away leaving me lonely

Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.



Don't leave me I cried

Don't take that airplane ride

But you locked me out of your mind

And left me standing here behind.



Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They're taking you away leaving me lonely

Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.

And left me standing here behind.



Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They're taking you away leaving me lonely

Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.



Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They're taking you away leaving me lonely

Silver wings slowly fading out of sight...
