If I Could Only Fly
written by
Merle Haggard

1st Verse

__________

I almost felt you touching me just now
I wish I knew which way to turn and go
I feel so good, and then 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, to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand, and I got no where to run
Another sinking sun, and one more lonely night

2nd Verse
____________

The wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday
Tell me things get better, somewhere, up the way
Just dismal thiking on a dismal day
And song songs for us to bare

Solo
________

Bridge
___________
If I could only fly
If we could only fly
If we could only fly
There'd be no more lonely nights

3rd verse
__________

You know sometimes I write happy songs
Then some little thing goes wrong
I wish they all could make you smile
Coming home soon and I wanna stay
Maybe we can somehow get away
I wish you could come with me when I go again

Repeat 1st Chorus
