If I Could Only Fly Lyrics - The Definitive Collection - 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 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
