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
