"IF I HAD WINGS" lyrics

If I had wings
I'd go sing with all the angels in the sky
I wouldn't change a thing or ever ask God "Why?"
If I had wings
I can't tell you all the places that I'd go
Here or there but there's one place I know
Yeah I'd go

I'd fly to heaven
Sing with papaw
Say a prayer for Tennessee
I'd meet Loretta
Hear her stories
And all the reasons she had to leave
Hug my family, all my friends
That made it back home before me
The unborn angels I never got to meet
Yeah I know where I'd go, if I had wings

If I had wings
I'd say goodbye to anything that's in my way
Take off into that sunset
I'd love to say
That I have wings
So I could soar above the clouds or be right in it
'Cause daddy always said the sky's the only limit
And, boy, that's livin'

I'd fly to heaven
Sing with papaw
Say a prayer for Tennessee
I'd meet Loretta
Hear her stories
And all the reasons she had to leave
Hug my family, all my friends
That made it back home before me
The unborn angels I never got to meet
Yeah I know where I'd go, if I had wings

I'd fly up to them pearly gates and say "Hello" to Jesus
Ask if I could stay the day then maybe we'd go fishin'
To the honey hole down streets of gold
Hug all the folks I miss and
See this house on holy ground
With God there as my witness

I'd fly to heaven
Sing with papaw
Say a prayer for Tennessee
I'd meet Loretta
Hear her stories
And the reasons she had to leave
I'd hug my family, all my friends
That made it back home before me
The unborn angels I never got to meet
Yeah I know where I'd go, if I had wings
