If I Could Only Fly
written by
Merle Haggard
1st Verse
__________
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
Chorus
__________
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
2nd Verse
____________
The wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday
Tell me things get better, somewhere, up the way
Just dismal thiking on a dismal day
And song songs for us to bare
Solo
________
Bridge
___________
If I could only fly
If we could only fly
If we could only fly
There'd be no more lonely nights
3rd verse
__________
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
Repeat 1st Chorus

Merle Ronald Haggard (1937-2016) was one of the most influential singer-songwriters in American country music. Born in Bakersfield, California, Haggard began his musical career in the 1950s, influenced by artists like Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. In 1966, with his album "Sing Me Back Home", he achieved national success, solidifying his traditional country style with a touch of rockabilly and folk. Haggard was known for his introspective and realistic songs that addressed themes such as rural life, lost love, social justice, and the struggle against poverty. Among his most famous songs are "Okie from Muskogee", "Mama Tried", "The Fightin' Side of Me" and "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink". He won numerous awards, including three Grammy Awards, and sold over 38 million records worldwide.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
