Seven years old in my radio flyer
|
And cape tied around my neck
|
Top of Thompson's hill
|
Billy said I was a liar
|
And now I'm scared half to death
|
|
Becky said Billy was dumb
|
I shouldn't listen to him
|
But I had something to prove
|
Ain't nobody gonna call me a chicken
|
Gotta do what you gotta do
|
|
I'm gonna fly
|
Defy space and gravity
|
I'm gonna fly
|
Billy just you wait and see
|
|
I was just a kid
|
Barely eighteen years
|
And I couldn't wait to graduate
|
Confident cocky and man it really got me
|
When I heard my daddy say
|
|
You oughta get some knowledge
|
You gotta go to college
|
Gotta make something of your life
|
But I had to do it my way
|
So I headed for the highway
|
And I followed those little white lines
|
|
I'm gonna fly
|
Defy space and gravity
|
I'm gonna fly
|
Makin' my own destiny
|
|
Well I crashed and I burned
|
But I don't regret it
|
You only fail if you don't try
|
Gonna brush off the ashes
|
And just forget it
|
I ain't perfect yeah
|
But you can bet someday
|
I'm gonna get my wings and fly
|
|
I'm gonna fly
|
Defy space and gravity
|
I'm gonna fly
|
Yeah you just got to believe
|

I'm Gonna Fly
