Jim White Borrowed Wings Lyrics:
That night we drank wine from the crazy well. Shot
a shotgun out the window of our automobile. We was
young, we was wild and we sure had our fun. Until
the sheriff caught up with us and we tried to run.
Now we return to Earth on borrowed wings lifted
from the shoulders of sweet dreaming angels. Now
the world beyond the world we never will reach,
'cause you can't get to heaven on no... borrowed
wings. Now Lucinda here she once ran a fine beauty
parlor, 'til her boyfriend got twenty years for
robbing them liquor stores. She took some pills in
a motel room a mile from his prison cell. Then she
sank like a stone to the blue bottom of the

swimming pool. Now she returns to Earth on
borrowed wings lifted from the shoulders of sweet
dreaming angels. Now the world beyond the world
she never will reach, 'cause you can't get to
heaven on no... borrowed wings. Between a rock
called heaven and a hard place called home, we
wander the shadows so restless and lonesome. For
in the fallow field where what's reaped is what's
sewn there lies a road to ruin and it's paved with
our tombstones. So if you catch my reflection in a
sheet of summer rain, pray tell do remain silent
for fear you'll awaken them beautiful owners of
the wings that we bear for fear they'll reclaim
them and send us back there. For we return to
Earth on borrowed wings lifted from the shoulders
of sweet dreaming angels. Now the world beyond the
world we never will reach, 'cause you can't get to
heaven on no... no borrowed wings.
