Don't I wish I could fly? (rewrite)
v
Ain't got two dimes to rub together
clothes I'm wearing won't keep out the weather
The winters harsh this year in Tennessee
these shoes won't take me where I prefer to be
c
Don't I wish I could fly? Don't I wish I could fly?-
No need for walking shoes-
That's me soaring through the winter sky.
Find me a place where I need to shade the sun from my eyes
Don't I wish I could fly? Don't I wish I could fly?
v
She's gone, she wont be coming back
first Christmas alone in our little shack
Midnights bad enough when loneliness can kill you
Christmas Eve Santa will forget to call as usual
b
Least I've got my brother living close by me
wife roasts the best bird in the whole of Tennessee
Then we can give my batch of moonshine a try
though we ain't got wings I believe we could fly

c
Don't I wish I could fly? Don't I wish I could fly?-
No need for walking shoes-
That's me soaring through the winter sky.
Find me a place where I need to shade the sun from my eyes
Don't I wish I could fly? Don't I wish I could fly?

Nice Travis, I got a groove for this as I read it. I myself got a mid to uptempo blues feel. Good work.

Thanks for the comment James,blues or country yes probably the latter but I doubt if it'll get to the music stage, but you never know lol

Have done a little more on this for the flow does it work?

Hi Travis,

I'm liking this! I like how he's down and out, but he still has his brother and someone to share Thanksgiving with. It feels very real, in a sad but still hopeful way!

I saw a comedian a few months ago who says it's a good thing he can't fly or he'd be wreaking havoc. For instance, he'd fly out the window during a traffic jam and drop a bird bomb on the car windshield ahead of him -- lol!

Sound like the synopsis for a Lisa/Cal collab lol.
Thanks for reviving this Lisa
Travis

I like the positive-ness of the song, its uplifting

Thanks for the comment Josh, pleased you liked it
