Lyrics: Silver wings Shining in the sunlight Roaring engines Headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings Slowly fading out of sight Don't leave me, I cried Don't take that airplane ride But you locked me out of your mind And left me standing here behind Silver wings Shining in the sunlight Roaring engines Headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings Slowly fading out of sight Silver wings Shining in the sunlight Roaring engines Headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings Slowly fading out of sight Slowly fading out of sight
Just in case somebody forgotthe f****** lyrics to a song they looked up on UA-cam there's always got to be one of you in every UA-cam video I swear to God
God be with you, mr Haggard, wish I could have met you, your songs are with me and my family....................now you're with your folks again...........
The song is great. The performance likewise. If you look behind Jewel there is a guy playing a black ovation cutaway. This is the great Freddy Powers a master songwriter and Merle's (and Willie's) longtime sidekick that is suffering from Parkinson's Disease. If you have a chance say a prayer or have a kind thought for Freddy.
When I was in the Navy, I very frequently flew to different stations and/or ships for a temporary assignment. My wife would usually take me to the airport and many years later, she told me that almost every time when headed home in our truck this Merle Haggard song would come on the radio. She said it was almost freeky that it happened so often. To this day, she can't hear it without tearing up.
This was the ETS (Expiration Term of Service) song. They played it at the NCO club in Bamberg, Germany whenever one of us was getting ready to fly back home.
@Ken Hallum @rickyd0821 Boy, what a perspective you guys provided. I played an Enlisted Men's Club at Jax Mayport when I was in college age. This really was a strong flashback to the reality of life far away for servicemembers. Thanks!
Give those children a chance..No matter what country is at fault...children don't know that..they are holding on to a parents leg or hand..or a stranger's love and compassion because the parents are gone...Silver Wings gives a boy or girl powerful image's....
Ronja CCQ, I’ve listened to several songs from this concert many times. Each video is of high quality. Just wondering if you were there at this concert. I have enjoyed everyone of your post. Thank you
I love the way Merle sings it by himself. I don't think Jewel added to it. It is not broke so there is no need to fix it. Let Merle sing it as only he can.
She's a country girl at heart..she is a beautiful lady with a great voice..bless her for singing with a legend and sounding so amazing with a country legend
The children of Ukraine don't need your money..lifestyle..they just want...Going to bed...watching TV..breakfast..playing with pets..that good Ole bath...going to school...Christmas..We as a world better not fail them..Children are life..without them we have nothing.
+undertheblade1 yup, you just proved my statement correct. A simple apology by you to the lady, if not a complete removal of your comment would have proved me wrong. Dumbass.
Lyrics:
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Don't leave me, I cried
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Slowly fading out of sight

Always grateful to hear such beautiful talent. Just close your eyes and drift away!
I read somewhere that this was the number one duo of all times.
Two of Country greatest and a beautiful song.
This is real country beautiful
Used to sing this song all the time in Germany in 1971-1972 !

Great just Beautiful
Merle Haggard and Jewel ❤❤❤
Thank you 2021
Jewel truly does sound like an angel here. and for her to have the opportunity to sing with a legend must have been amazing
Shes a legend herself and always sounds like an angel..
Her books are great also.
No and fuck no. She sucks.
Son, that girl sounds like an Angel...
Merle got his silver wings this is brillant
Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for the memories much respected here

Oh boy Jewell family must be so proud of her because she sang so beautiful with Merle Haggard, it was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!
Love the 🎷 saxophone!
What a nice duet can’t compare to nothing!

This song reminds me of the time I had to leave the love of my life and fly back for the last 6 months of a year tour in Korea.
That 'sax' put the plane in the sky!
The best duo ever!!!!!!!
I just wish I could sing like this. Maybe one day, God will let me!!.

Great duet. Can jewel sing or not? Wow! Ty Murray how did you let her get away
Tater Salad She probably got away from him, and I’m a huge Ty Murray fan but at times he can be such an ass !!
so beautiful..
Give those children a chance..No matter what country is at fault...children don't know that..they are holding on to a parents leg or hand..or a stranger's love and compassion because the parents are gone...Silver Wings gives a boy or girl powerful image's....
Tribute to Merle. Silver Wings puts Jet Plane to shame.
+Paul Tress i'll second that Paul !
Something for my soul
Red Volkaerts solo is brilliant, completely unexpected.
Merle is singing with the rest of the people that has gone before him.
GREAT SONG AND I DONT EVEN FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it!!!!!

Don't forget our folks in harm's way.
Payson Ut Jewel!
Merle doesn't need any one beside him. Good job,but I like it Merle solo

Actually Two Jewels.....
Does anyone know if this is on an album? I have searched and can not find the duet version.
what year was this?
+April FaceOff Like 1999.
could do without her!
not too fussy
Silver Wings headed towards Ukraine. Better be getting the children out
oh god she destroyed the song :(
You are as rude as you are stupid.
+Guitar Man absolutely. yet it took you this long to come up with something so simple and easy LMFAO
