"We Thought We Could Fly" lyrics

Fly
Fly

Carry that heavy amp down the stairs
1961
Couple of guys were singing and playing
Looked like they were having fun
I asked and they said I could join them
So I plugged in and started to strum
Now we were ready to give it a try

We really thought we could fly
Yeah we thought we could fly
Fly

We became the real hot band on campus
1964
Playing those frat parties all around
Opening every door
We nailed all the Beatles and Beach Boys sound
We never let a chord go by
Cause we were really going to give it a try

We really thought we could fly
Yeah we thought we could fly
Fly

We really flew for a little while
Then we went our separate ways
But the memory keeps running back
Of those amazing days

A couple of grizzled old senior guys
2007
You said you wanted to start a band
But you left me for Rock & Roll Heaven
So from up there, can you give me a hand?
Cause I still want to sing and strum?
Remember those days when we gave it a try

We really thought we could fly
Yeah we thought we could fly
Fly
Yeah we thought we could fly
We really thought we could fly
We thought we could fly
We really thought we could fly
Yeah we thought we could fly
