Jerry Jeff Walker Life's calling you son, time to travel on To see the world, and to learn just how to sing your song But as you go, though we love you so And may the road before you be a joyous one Right from the start, sing 'em from the heart Let every song be part of who and where you are And if late at night, you're feeling all alone Then let music be the wings to carry you back home But if I know you, there's nothing you can't do You always do your best when you have things to prove Far as I can see, you're better man than me So trust your instincts and let music set you free And remember this, music is a gift It'll be a friend through thick and thin, you can count on this And if later on, you're feeling all alone Then let music be the wings to carry you back home Know you'll get homesick, and you'll want to quit And sometimes you'll feel like a stranger that just doesn't fit That's when you'll know, how your song should go When you need it most the words and music flow And you'll do just fine and if you give it time Drop a line to say hello to all the friends back home But if late at night, you're feeling all alone Let your music be the wings to carry you back home Yeah, let music be the wings to carry you back home That will take you through it all
