When I Get My Wings - Will Hoge

Won’t you take me with you darling, I don’t wanna stay

And this place just keeps on getting sadder ever since you went away

And I smell you on this pillow as I lie here in our old bed

With a bottle and a bible, I just pray I might get some rest

But when I get my wings I’ma gonna

Fly back home to you

And go ahead and you can tell St. Peter

Open up, I’m coming through

And I put you in that blue dress and a new pair of high heel shoes

And a photograph of two love drunk kids on the day that they said I do

57 years of memories fall like the rain comes down

And I could not help myself but cry as they laid you in the ground

But when I get my wings I’ma gonna

Fly back home to you

Go ahead and you can tell St. Peter

Open up, I’m coming on through

And every Sunday I kneel down to pray that I won’t be alone

And every night I lay down and hope I wake up back in your arms

But when I get my wings I’ma gonna

Fly back home to you

And go ahead and you can tell St. Peter

Open up, I’m coming on through

And I don’t think, don’t think I can wait any longer

Oh Lord I’m counting down the days

I’m gonna come back, come back and hold you my love

Soon as I get my wings, oh Lord

Just as soon as I get my wings

One more time Lord

Soon as I get my wings
