When I Get My Wings Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

Been a whole lot of people thought me a fool
Been a time or two I thought that i was one too
Ain′t a change that can hold me
Ain't a thing I won′t try
When i get through livin', I'm gonna die


Gonna die with my boots on, gonna go out in style
With a free-wheelin′ feelin′ and a honky tonk smile
And if the devil don't dodge me, gonna spit in his eye
When i get my wings, I′m gonna fly

Gonna fly away singin' I′m gonna fly
Gonna wrap my new wings 'round
Gonna reach a new heaven, higher than high
When I get my wings, hey I′m gonna fly

Gonna fly away singin' I'm gonna fly
Gonna wrap my new wings ′round
Gonna reach a new heaven, higher than high
When I get my wings, hey I′m gonna fly
