"Time for Me to Fly" is a song by American rock band REO Speedwagon, released in 1978 as the second single from the album You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish.

It was written by lead singer Kevin Cronin and took 10 years to write.

Cash Box praised the "melodic singing and acoustic guitar work...enveloping chorus and...catchy lyric.

"[6] Record World said that it is "characteristic of the group's imaginative use of rock's common raw materials.

However, John Stronach, who produced [the band's previous album] R.E.O., didn’t like the song.

But for the next album, this song came up again, and I convinced Gary [Richrath], who co-produced it with me, that if it was arranged differently, then it would be very powerful and a proper REO track.

[9]In 2021, REO Speedwagon's home state of Illinois used the song as "Time for Me to Drive" for a tourism campaign.

[10] Dolly Parton recorded a bluegrass version for her 1989 album White Limozeen.
