Johnny Cash – Wings In The Morning Lyrics

WINGS IN THE MORNING
Johnny Cash

My grandfather lived by the book all his life
On rich-bottomed land with twelve kids and a wife
He never saw TV nor rode a jet plane
But he knew that heaven was holding his claim

Wings in the morning and license to fly
Straight to the portals of nevermore die
Nevermore pain in them old aching bones
Wings in the morning to carry us home

The salt of the Earth yet with faith in the Lord
They all got together in that one accord
And what could be greater than Gods guarantee
That man could have heaven for eternity?

Rocks in the road and we stumble and fall
Lights getting low so we cant see at all
But I promise you on that gettin up day
Wings in the morning and well fly away
