Lyrics
Verse
Well I started out down a dirty road
I started out I was all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
and the town lit up and the world got still
Chorus
I’m learnin’ to fly but I aint got wings
comin’ down is the hardest thing
Verse
Well the good ole days may not return
and the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
Chorus
I’m learnin’ to fly but I aint got wings
comin’ down is the hardest thing
Verse
Well some say life will beat you down
break your heart and steal your crown
So I started out for God knows where
I guess I’ll know when I get there
Chorus
I’m learnin’ to fly around the clouds
what goes up must come down
Chorus
I’m learnin’ to fly but I aint got wings
comin’ down is the hardest thing
