May Music Be Your Wings Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

Life's calling you son, time to travel on 

To see the world, and to learn just how to sing your song 

But as you go, though we love you so 

And may the road before you be a joyous one 

Right from the start, sing 'em from the heart 

Let every song be part of who and where you are 

And if late at night, you're feeling all alone 

Then let music be the wings to carry you back home 

But if I know you, there's nothing you can't do 

You always do your best when you have things to prove 

Far as I can see, you're better man than me 

So trust your instincts and let music set you free 

And remember this, music is a gift 

It'll be a friend through thick and thin, you can count on this 

And if later on, you're feeling all alone 

Then let music be the wings to carry you back home 

Know you'll get homesick, and you'll want to quit 

And sometimes you'll feel like a stranger that just doesn't fit 

That's when you'll know, how your song should go 

When you need it most the words and music flow 

And you'll do just fine and if you give it time 

Drop a line to say hello to all the friends back home 

But if late at night, you're feeling all alone 

Let your music be the wings to carry you back home 

Yeah, let music be the wings to carry you back home 

That will take you through it all
