On the Wheels and Wings Lyrics
(Johnny Cash)
© '72 Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP
Now the nation moved on wheels
Will Rogers said we hold the distinction on being the only nation
In the history of the world ever to go to the poorhouse in an automobile
Ha ha ha well the country went to the poorhouse all right
Then it got back to its feet
To become the mose powerful nation in the history of the world
And she spread her wings and she flew
Yep the nation was flying now taking to the air
In a few hours time you could fly over all those trails blazed by the pioneers
Phonographs were playing the hit songs of the day
Alexander's Ragtime Band and My Mother Was A Lady
And here's a song my mama sang back about 1910 or 1950
