Introduction
Hey there! So, have you ever had one of those days where you just need a little something to lift you up and remind you of simpler, more hopeful times? That’s exactly what “I’ll Fly Away” by Joey+Rory does for me. This song is like a warm hug from an old friend, filled with classic country charm and heartfelt emotion.
Originally written in 1929 by Albert E. Brumley, “I’ll Fly Away” is one of those timeless gospel hymns that has been passed down through generations. It’s like a comforting thread woven through the fabric of American music. Joey+Rory’s live version adds a special touch, capturing that raw, authentic energy of a live performance that makes the song feel even more intimate and personal.
Listening to Joey’s pure, angelic voice paired with Rory’s gentle harmonies is a spiritual experience in itself. They perform with such genuine emotion that you can’t help but feel a sense of peace and hope wash over you. It’s as if they’re personally inviting you to celebrate the promise of freedom and eternal rest that the song beautifully encapsulates.
What makes this rendition particularly special is the duo’s ability to connect with their audience. You can almost picture yourself sitting in a cozy, rustic venue, surrounded by people who are just as moved by the music as you are. It’s one of those moments where you realize that music truly has the power to bring people together, transcending time and space.
Have you ever found yourself swaying along, lost in the melody, and feeling a sense of unity with everyone around you? That’s the magic of Joey+Rory’s “I’ll Fly Away.” It’s a reminder of the beauty of life and the comfort of knowing that, in the end, we’re all in this journey together.
If you haven’t experienced this live performance yet, I highly recommend giving it a listen. Let it take you away, even if just for a few minutes, to a place where everything feels a little brighter and more hopeful. What are your favorite songs that give you that same uplifting feeling?

Lyrics
Some bright morning when this life is over, I’ll fly away
To that home on God’s celestial shore I’ll fly away,
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone, I’ll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown, I’ll fly away
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away
(Take it away)
Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I’ll fly away
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll, I’ll fly away
To a land where joy will never end, I’ll fly away
(One more time)
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away
