About Beth Burgess
Expertise
I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience
I've been a country music fan for all of my 25 years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
I'm currently enrolled in law school (so if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have excellent research skills!)

Country Music - I can't remember the song played at my dad funeral


Expert: Beth Burgess - 6/21/2009

Question
I know its a male country singer and it has angle wings and or ill fly away in it .  
At the end of the song it is sung by a group of kids.

Answer
Hi Sherry!  I'm not sure if this is the song you're looking for, because it's pretty upbeat, but the song that immediately comes to mind is Tim McGraw's "Last Dollar (Fly Away)."  Let me know if it's not what you're looking for and I'll keep looking! Hope this helps!

Song: Last Dollar(Fly Away)
Album: Let It Go

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Hey!

Verse1:
I’m down to my last dollar
I've walk right through my shoes
Just a small reminder of the hell that I’ve gone through
But look at me still smiling
As I’m wondering what I’ll do
Since I ain’t got nothing
I've got nothing to lose
Everybody say “HaHaHaHa, HaHaHaHa”
My friends are always giving me
Watches, hats, and wine
That’s how I know this is serious
That’s how I know it's time
I don’t have to worry
About things that I don’t have
Cause if I ain’t got nothing
I've got nothing to hold me back

Chorus:
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, fly away

Verse 2:
There’s nothing that’s worth keeping me
From places I should go
From happyville to lovingland
I’m gonna tour from coast to coast
I’m leaving everything behind
There’s not much that I need
Cause If I ain’t got nothing
I'm footloose and fancy free

Chorus

Look at me so free
Nothings holding me down(down)
Look at me so free
Can’t keep my feet on the ground

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly Away, Fly away, Fly away
Fly

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

(Tim's Little Girls) 1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

(Tim's Little Girls)1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

(Faith Hill, "Keep Going")

(Tim's Little Girls) 1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
