Brand New Set of Wings

Mama was callin but I couldn't answer,

I had a dog in the car had a dog in my hands

and I was walkin in these worn out shoes

When I tripped over Charlie and i hit the grass,

I was comin up runnin I was comin up fast

But he beat me I was runnin for the door

No Sally dont get down, cuz I've been lookin all over town

for a brand new set of wings for you, a brand new set of wings for you

Now i'm back in the house bang my head against the wall,

yeah Charlie's still laughin bout watchin me fall

I say Charlie now whats the big idea

I'm back in my room just packin my bags

Thinkin November bout the time that we had just walkin by the stone walls

No Sally don't get down, cuz I've been lookin all over town

for a brand new set of wings for you, for a brand new set of wings for you

Yeah for you

Oh I'm gonna go get a ticket

gonna get on a plane

tell that pilot take me so far away

so i can call you up and say I miss you like a fool

Yeah but you don't put me down you don't treat me bad

Say i understand about the problems i have

but sometimes i know you still wonder

Sally don't get down, cuz I've been lookin all over town

for a brand new set of wings for you, for a brand new set of wings for you

yeah for you

Yeah got held up in Paris caught smoking on a train

if you aint got your papers gonna get you detained

don't believe me I got the photographs to prove it

And you should have seen the look on the old mans face

when the police threatened to haul him away

You know he was so scared, it was also kinda funny

Sally don't get down, cuz I've been lookin all over town

for a brand new set of wings for you, a brand new set of wings for you

yeah for you

And I cant sleep at night cant wake in the day

got these guitars that got so much to say

but no time or energy to say it

yeah we can still walk in the park there aint nobody there

there's a calm in the trees and a cool in there air

its warm but i found it kind of soothing

in a couple of months when the leaves turn green

when the seasons change when the bird sings

I'm gonna grab you up and I'm taking you for good

yes and we'll walk by the river most every single day

and we'll eat our dinner where the tourists play

yeah the city's old but it never seems to get tired

No Sally don't get down, cuz I've been lookin all over town

for a brand new set of wings for you, for a brand new set of wings for you
