Silver Wings

Sarah came down, from a quaint little town in the heart of Iowa
She worked a shift at The New Bee Line Cafe
She knew she could sing, she could do anything that a Hollywood star could do
In school she played the lead in “Cabaret”
She saved every tip, and planned her big trip, then she said, “I’m on my way
I’m gonna take my guitar and I’ll be a big star and shine in the skies of LA”

Gonna fly through the clouds like an eagle
Gonna dance in the neon lights
Gonna rise to the stars like a Phoenix
Gonna soar on silver wings over the City of Angels

Sam had the face and the rodeo grace of an early on John Wayne
He busted broncs for a travelin’ wild west show
But too many falls and a couple close calls and he knew that his time had come
So he made his move outside of El Paso
He had some good luck, hitched a ride on a truck, then he said, “I’m on my way
Got my Gibson guitar and the looks of a star, I’ll shine in the skies of LA”

Gonna fly through the clouds like an eagle
Gonna dance in the neon lights
Gonna rise to the stars like a Phoenix
Gonna soar on silver wings over the City of Angels

Silver wings over the City of Angels
Silver wings, shimmering spotlight beams
Gonna fly over the City of Angels
Gonna soar on silver wings over the City of Dreams
Gonna soar on silver wings over the City of Dreams
Gonna soar on silver wings over the City of Dreams
