When I Get My Wings

Won't you take me with you darling I don't want to stay
 And this place just keeps on getting sadder ever since you went away
 And I smell you on this pillow as I lie here in our old bed
 With a bottle and a bible, I just pray i might get some rest
 When I get my wings I'm a gonna
 Fly back home to you
 And go ahead and you can tell St. Peter
 Open up, I'm coming through
 And I put you in that blue dress and a new pair of high heel shoes
 And a photograph of two love drunk kids on the day that they said i do
 57 years of memories fall like the rain comes down
 And I could not help myself but cry as they laid you in the ground
 When I get my wings I'm a gonna
 Fly back home to you
 Go ahead and you can tell St. Peter
 Open up, I'm coming on through
 And every Sunday I kneel down to pray that I won't be alone
 And every night I lay down and hope I wake up back in your arms
 When I get my wings I'm a gonna
 Fly back home to you
 And go ahead and you can tell St. Peter
 Open up, I'm coming on through
 And I don't think, don't think I can wait any longer
 O Lord I'm counting down the days
 I'm gonna come back, come back and hold you my love
 Soon as I get my wings
 O Lord
 Just as soon as I get my wings
 One more time Lord
 Soon as I get my wings
