Take me home on the Memphis flyer 
Take me home to a point down south 
Got to go just to keep from dying 
Come on, baby, you and me gonna play house 

You and me on the wings of freedom 
You and me leave it all behind 
I can't say where it's all been leadin' 
But come on, baby, before we go changin' our mind 

We can fly like a bird on the wings of a song 
We get by we're alive but you know 
that it won't be too long, be too long, be too long 

Come on, honey 
Time to be movin' on 
Now or never, baby 

Got to fly like a song of freedom 
Got to fly just to save my soul 
You get by on the song I'm singin' 

Come on, baby, we're too young to be gettin' old 
We can fly like a bird on the wings of a song 
We get by we're alive but we won't be too long 
We can fly, we can fly, 

We can fly, we can fly
