Spread Your Wings Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sammy was low, just watchin' the show

Over and over again

Knew it was time, he'd made up his mind

To leave his dead life behind

His boss said to him, "Boy, you'd better begin

To get those crazy notions right out of your head

Sammy, who do you think that you are?

You should've been sweepin' up the Emerald Bar"



[Chorus]

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away, far away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away, far away

Pull yourself together 'cause you know you should do better

That's because you're a free man



[Bridge]

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room

Keepin' his thoughts to himself

He'd bе leaving soon

Wishin' he was miles and milеs away

Nothin' in this world, nothin' would make him stay



[Verse 2]

Since he was small, had no luck at all

Nothin' came easy to him

Now it was time, he'd made up his mind

"This could be my last chance"

His boss said to him, "Now listen, boy! You're always dreamin'

You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far

Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?

Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?"



[Chorus]

So honey, spread your wings and fly away

Fly away, far away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away, far away

Pull yourself together 'cause you know you should do better

That's because you're a free man



[Outro]

Come on, honey

Fly with me



[Guitar Solo]
