Merle Haggard

If I Could Only Fly

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
Chorus:
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
Wind keeps blowin somewhere everday
Tell me things get better somewhere up the way
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day
And sad songs for us to bare
Chorus:
You know sometimes I write happy songs
Then some little thing goes wrong
And I wish they all coould make you smile
Comin  home soon and I wanna stay
Maybe we could somehow get away
And I wish you could come with me when I go again
If I could only fly If we could only fly If you could only fly
There d be no more lonely nights
