I have over 40 original country songs willing to give to the right musician that has a gifted voice. Four are top 20 worthy as I am not wanting to tour.
If I had wings I would fly Over the river and into the night And if I had wheels I would roll Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul Well, it's 59 miles to Memphis Ain't really that far to go With a little money in your pocket It'll get you right down that road But all I got are these voices Telling me this is your life Tobacco fields, textile mills or Be some roughneck's wife If I had wings I would fly Over the river and into the night And if I had wheels I would roll Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul And if I had wings So I get up every morning And fix his coffee strong Then he stumbles into the kitchen Acting like nothing's wrong And that hurts worse than the bruises But what cuts deeper still Dark and jagged in my soul An emptiness that kills If I had wings I would fly Over the river and into the night And if I had wheels I would roll Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul And if I had wings Well, I guess they must heard it All the way to Arkansas Momma said call the preacher I just called the Lord 'Cause this ain't no place for angels No time for talk of sin We all knew sooner or later It was gonna be me or him If I had wings I would fly Over the river and into the night And if I had wheels I would roll Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul But if I had wings
Absolutely a well written beautiful song by the wonderful Matraca Berg
Incredible song, lyrics to cry for, lyrics to live for. Gracias.

Still have these?
You and 10,000 other people bro
If I had wings I would fly
Over the river and into the night
And if I had wheels I would roll
Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul
Well, it's 59 miles to Memphis
Ain't really that far to go
With a little money in your pocket
It'll get you right down that road
But all I got are these voices
Telling me this is your life
Tobacco fields, textile mills or
Be some roughneck's wife
If I had wings I would fly
Over the river and into the night
And if I had wheels I would roll
Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul
And if I had wings
So I get up every morning
And fix his coffee strong
Then he stumbles into the kitchen
Acting like nothing's wrong
And that hurts worse than the bruises
But what cuts deeper still
Dark and jagged in my soul
An emptiness that kills
If I had wings I would fly
Over the river and into the night
And if I had wheels I would roll
Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul
And if I had wings
Well, I guess they must heard it
All the way to Arkansas
Momma said call the preacher
I just called the Lord
'Cause this ain't no place for angels
No time for talk of sin
We all knew sooner or later
It was gonna be me or him
If I had wings I would fly
Over the river and into the night
And if I had wheels I would roll
Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul
But if I had wings
"I just called the law" ...I think
