He was young, he was handsome
He came strolling up her walk
He had a smile that could melt any woman
And lord, he could talk
He was just the kind of man who fit into her plan
Most folks would call wrong
They spent one night making love
By daylight he was gone


Fly by night
Silent as the hungry wolf slippin' through the trees
Fly by night
Runnin’ from a deed that was never meant to be
All the whispers and the rumors
self righteous with their scorn
On the mother and the father
When the baby’s when it’s born
Prayers that go unanswered if the truth don’t see the light
But morning always comes
Fly by night
Fly by night

The boy grew up in a house full of love
Too small for his dreams
Soon enough he would feel the strangle
Of his mother’s apron strings
It was a bullet from a law man’s gun
That brought him to his knees
And released his troubled spirit
Longing to be free
