If I Had Wings |
| If I had wings I would fly |
| Over the river and into the night |
| And if I had wheels I would roll |
| Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul |
| Well, it’s 59 miles to Memphis |
| Ain’t really that far to go |
| With a little money in your pocket |
| It’ll get you right down that road |
| But all I got are these voices |
| Telling me this is your life |
| Tobacco fields, textile mills or |
| Be some roughneck’s wife |
| If I had wings I would fly |
| Over the river and into the night |
| And if I had wheels I would roll |
| Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul |
| And if I had wings |
| So I get up every morning |
| And fix his coffee strong |
| Then he stumbles into the kitchen |
| Acting like nothing’s wrong |
| And that hurts worse than the bruises |
| But what cuts deeper still |
| Dark and jagged in my soul |
| An emptiness that kills |
| If I had wings I would fly |
| Over the river and into the night |
| And if I had wheels I would roll |
| Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul |
| And if I had wings |
| Well, I guess they must heard it |
| All the way to Arkansas |
| Momma said call the preacher |
| I just called the Lord |
| 'Cause this ain’t no place for angels |
| No time for talk of sin |
| We all knew sooner or later |
| It was gonna be me or him |
| If I had wings I would fly |
| Over the river and into the night |
| And if I had wheels I would roll |
| Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul |
| But if I had wings |
