Johnny Cash - Wings In The Morning Lyrics






Wings in the morning and license to fly
Straight to the portals of never more die
Never more pain in them old aching bones
Wings in the morning to carry us home

My grandfather lived by the book all his life
On rich bottom 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

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 God's guarantee
That we can have heaven for eternity?

Rocks in the road and we stumble and fall
Lights getting low, so we don't see at all
But I promise you, on that getting up day
Wings in the morning, we'll fly away

    If I remember The "Carl Tipton show" was a morning show during the week? Could have been mid day show? I know it was a live show so there Johnny Cash and Marty Stuart and Carl Tipton " who was talking to Johnny at start" up early singing! Somebody going to remember what time? Most of these guy are still in bed this time of the morning! It was good seeing all of them again! We were bless in Nashville to have good music all the way around!
    Also, The studio that there were playing there was at WTVF ch5 in Nashville were they also tape "Hee Haw" in  first few years. Still in use by ch5 today. Many fans of country music think of WSM TV where a lot of old shows were done. But Ch5 held it head up high to!

    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 God's guarantee/That man could have heaven for eternity?Rocks in the road and we stumble and fall/Light's getting low so we can't see at all/But I promise you on that gettin' up day/Wings in the morning and we'll fly away
