Lyrics

When I was a little girl, I made myself some wings
Out of newspaper, tape and blue string
I tied them to my shoulders , flapped real hard
Ran around in circle outside in the backyard
I was flying through the tall grass, flying in my head
Places to see before days end

I got a little older, blossomed in the spring
Kinda fell in love a boy gave me a ring
He said, "We'll marry and settle down
"You and me forever in this little town"

But I was flying through the tall grass
Flying in my head
Places to see before I wed"

Away beyond this town I flew
Newspaper wings into the blue

So, I bought myself a used car, an old Suburu
Fixed her up real pretty, almost like new
I packed everything I wanted, it all fit in the trunk

A couple of boxes, my newspaper wings for luck
I was flying past the tall grass, flying in my head
Places to see away I sped

Away beyond this town I flew
Newspaper wings into the blue x2
