If I Could Only Fly

If I Could Only Fly
 Merle Haggard
 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 thiking on a dismal day
 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
