Merle Haggard If I Could Only Fly Lyrics

If I Could Only Fly Lyrics

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



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



The wind keeps blowing, somewhere, everyday

Tell me things get better, somewhere, up the way

Just dismal thinking on a dismal day

And sad songs for us to bare



If I could only fly

If we could only fly

If we could only fly

There'd be no more lonely nights



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



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
