Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
What a soulful and interesting guy he was. A lot of country singers are self-styed outlaws. Merle was the real thing. His bio says he spent 3 years in San Quentin for a botched robbery. I'm glad he found a more acceptable way to make a living. Thanks, Merle for Momma Tried, Okie from Muskogie and many more.
