Biography

Rock band from Champaign, Illinois, USA. They named the band [a254406], from the REO Speed Wagon, a 1915 truck that was designed by [b]R[/b]ansom [b]E[/b]li [b]O[/b]lds. Doughty had seen the name written across the blackboard when he walked into his History of Transportation class on the very first day they had decided to look for a name. Rather than pronouncing [b]REO[/b] as a single word as the motor company did, they chose to spell out the name with the individual letters each pronounced [b]("R-E-O")[/b]. Formed in 1967, the band cultivated a following during the 1970s and achieved significant commercial success throughout the 1980s. [Link] (1980) contained four US Top 40 hits and is the group's best-selling album, with over ten million copies sold.

LYRICS

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

[Refrain:]
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's...
[Refrain]

It's time for me to fly
[Repeat to end]
