Hayseed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelin' blue
I just can't wait
To be with you
Ten thousand miles and more
I come knocking at your door
We'll make it up for sure
Wings in the sky
Carry me home
To be with you
All through the night
Wings in the sky
Carry me home
To be with you
All of the passengers asleep
I feel so tired, I could weep
I just can't close my eyes
More drinks to pass the time
You're all that's on my mind
Wings in the sky
Flying so high
Carry me home
To be with you
All through the night
Wings in the sky
Carry me home
To be with you
I just can't close my eyes
You're all that's on my mind
Wings in the sky
Flying so high
Carry me home
To be with you
All through the night
Wings in the sky
Carry me home
To be with you
