Ray Wylie Hubbard - Black Wings lyrics

Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be
Believin' what you leave behind is
Burnt up junk debris
And ever last undying soul resides at
A hotel in Saint Marie
Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be
Shimmerin' like a Leslie and a Hammond B3
Or a shaking tambourine at a gospel jubilee
Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be
Jangling and a-changling all the
Way to Tennessee
Trusting in a Duo Jet and a 9 volt battery
Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be
Strummin' on a Stella guitar
And singin' 'Deportee'
That ain't much of a repertoire, oh, no
Siree fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be

Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be
You're never gonna reach the sun
Or the Sunset Marquis
You'll die like a saint on
High alongside gamblers and thieves
Fly away on them old wings
Black as they may be black as they may be
