Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He made up his mind
To leave his day life behind

His boss said to him
Boy you better begin
To get those crazy notion right out of your heads
Sammy who do you think that you are
You should've been sweeping at the Emerald bar

Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Put yourself together
Cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man

He spent his evening alone in his hotel room
Keeping his thought to himself
He'll be leaving soon
We should keep our perfect miles away
Nothing in this world, nothing, would make him stay

Since he was small, had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time he made up his mind
This could be my last chance

His boss said to him
Now listen boy, you're always dreaming
You got no real ambition
You won't get very far
Sammy 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 away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Put yourself together
Cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man

Come on honey...
