May Music Be Your Wings Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



Life's calling you son, time to travel on

To see the world, and to learn just how to sing your song

But as you go, though we love you so

And may the road before you be a joyous one



Right from the start, sing 'em from the heart

Let every song be part of who and where you are

And if late at night, you're feeling all alone

Then let music be the wings to carry you back home



But if I know you, there's nothing you can't do

You always do your best when you have things to prove

Far as I can see, you're better man than me

So trust your instincts and let music set you free



And remember this, music is a gift

It'll be a friend through thick and thin, you can count on this

And if later on, you're feeling all alone

Then let music be the wings to carry you back home



Know you'll get homesick, and you'll want to quit

And sometimes you'll feel like a stranger that just doesn't fit

That's when you'll know, how your song should go

When you need it most the words and music flow



And you'll do just fine and if you give it time

Drop a line to say hello to all the friends back home

But if late at night, you're feeling all alone

Let your music be the wings to carry you back home

Yeah, let music be the wings to carry you back home



That will take you through it all
