You’ll have to spread your wings and fly”

Momma and daddy were good folks

But they did not understand

Just to clear her head

And the ties that bind

Hurt her more

Than the road that lay ahead

Be there the whole way through

All she wanted was only forever

And he just couldn’t explain
A minorAm

But it caused him so much pain

Eyes in the rearview she bowed her head
C majorC
And wondered if it ain’t all the same

Verse 3:
C majorC
Well she was still chasing rainbows
FF
C majorC
Running from the storms trapped in her mind

To her surprise when she reached the end

There was no gold in sight
C majorC
Now she’s all alone and her house is no home
FF
C majorC
But there’s a spark left in her eye
A minorAm

Now she’s sittin’ down at the river

Watching the clouds roll by

Her old wrinkled hand searching

For the gun by her side

And it’s gonna be alright

There’s a Bible on the nightstand

Right on top of the world

With all the stars out that night

That river keeps running through her dreams
