If I Had Wings - The King's Blues Club
If I had silver
I'd buy the hungry a bite to eat
If I had silver
I'd buy the hungry a bite to eat
But all I got is a nickel
And worn out shoes on my feet
If I had wisdom
I'd lay it down in a prayer
If I had wisdom
I'd lay it down in a prayer
But all I got is questions
And an echo in the midnight air
Oh Lord, if I had wings
I'd fly away
Far from the sorrow
to a brighter day
But all I got is the blues to keep
dragging me down so deep
If I had fire
I'd burn the sorrow away
If I had fire
I'd burn the sorrow away
But I'm just a working soul
hoping brighter comes my day
If I had wings
Lord, I'd fly above this town, yeah
If I had wings
Lord, I'd leave this lonesome ground
But all I got is the blues
and it keeps on dragging me down
