Lyrics

I Have Wings On My Soul
Music by Peter Link
Lyrics by Ragan Courtney and Peter Link

Lookin’ out the window
At the world goin’ by
Feelin’ the hunger of America
Goin’ where I know not where
Through a land that takes me where
I know not
I’m watchin’ sage brush an’ sky
An’ a hundred miles go by
An’ not a word is spoken ‘tween my love an’ I
An’ I wonder jus’ what lies in store ahead

And oh the land
So much land
‘Tween my Mama an’ me
I’m so grateful that she is free
Of a life ‘a waitin’
]
An’ as we take this flight
An’ as the night comes on ta’ meet us
Blood across the sky
An’ the echoes of my life get left behind

An’ oh my soul
An’ oh my child
What’s to become of us
We who cut an’ run
We who steal away into the night
Into the sun
Once again on the Mother Road
Route 66
Refugees from the Dust Bowl
An’ this ol’ road before us
Keeps on takin’ its toll

I donno, God, I donno
I wish I knew like you
I wish there was jus’ somethin’ I could cling to
Jus’ where are those wings you said were mine

But oh the never knowing gets me down
What’s comin’ up the road ahead
Is out of my control
At every turn there seems to be
A mountain to climb
But then again
I remember
I have wings on my soul
I have wings on my soul

Yes wings enough to take me where I’m bound
And faith enough to carry me through
This whole rigmarole
I’m on my way
This child an’ I
We’ll survive
Cuz I have wings on my soul
Yes I have wings on my soul

Lookin’ out the window
At the world goin’ by
At the world goin’ by …
