Silver Wings - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They’re taking you away, leaving me lonely

Silver wings, slowly fading out of sight

«Don't leave me,» I cried

«Don't take no airplane ride»

But you locked me out of your mind

Left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They’re taking you away, leaving me lonely

Silver wings, slowly fading out of sight

Slowly fading out of sight

(Silver wings)

Slowly fading out of sight

Slowly fading out of sight

(Silver wings)

Slowly fading out of sight

Slowly fading out of sight

(Silver wings)

Slowly fading out of sight
