Paul Brandt - I'm Gonna Fly lyrics

rate me

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
