[Verse]
Started out down a dirty road
I started out all alone
The sun went down as I crossed the hill
As the town lit up and the world got still
[Chorus]
Learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing
[Bridge]
But the good old days, they may not return
And the rocks may melt and the sea may burn
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing
[Verse]
Some say life, it will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I started out for God-knows-where
I guess I'll know when I get there
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
What goes up must come down
[Outro]
I started out down a dirty road
I started out all alonŠµ
Started out down a dirty road
I started out all alone
The sun went down as I crossed the hill
As the town lit up and the world got still
[Chorus]
Learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing
[Bridge]
But the good old days, they may not return
And the rocks may melt and the sea may burn
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing
[Verse]
Some say life, it will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I started out for God-knows-where
I guess I'll know when I get there
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
What goes up must come down
[Outro]
I started out down a dirty road
I started out all alonŠµ
