Spread your wings
Sammy was lowJust watching the showOver and over againKnew it was timeHe'd made up his mindTo leave his dead life behindHis boss said to him'Boy you'd better beginTo get those crazy notions right out of your headSammy who do you think that you are?You should've been sweeping up the Emerald bar'
Spread your wings and fly awayFly away, far awaySpread your little wings and fly awayFly away, far awayPull yourself together'Cos you know you should do betterThat's because you're a free man
He spends his evenings alone in his hotel roomKeeping his thoughts to himself he'd be leaving soonWishing he was miles and miles awayNothing in this world, nothing would make him stay
Since he was smallHad no luck at allNothing came easy to himNow it was timeHe'd made up his mind'This could be my last chance'
His boss said to him 'now listen boyYou're always dreamingYou've got no real ambition you won't get very farSammy boy don't you know who you are?Why can't you be happy at the Emerald bar?'
So honey,Spread your wings and fly awayFly away, far awaySpread your little wings and fly awayFly away, far awayPull yourself together'Cos you know you should do betterThat's because you're a free man
Come on honey,fly with me!
