"Still Learning How To Fly" lyrics
"Still Learning How To Fly"
(originally by Rodney Crowell)
The hour is early
The whole world is quiet
A beautiful morning's about to ignite
I'm ready for danger
I'm ready for fire
I'm ready for something to lift me up higher
Life's been good, I guess
My ragged old heart's been blessed
With so much more than meets the eye
I've got a past I won't soon forget
You ain't seen nothing yet
I'm still learning how to fly
It's your dreams that die hard
With these habits to break
You can't let down your guard
When there's so much at stake
I'm halfway to heaven, halfway to hell
But I might roll a seven
You never can tell
Life's been good it's true
When I'm feeling just like new
The same old rules need not apply
I've got a past full of sticks and stones
And a good feeling in my bones
I'm still learning how to fly
I wanna go faster
I don't wanna slow down
I don't wanna get off of this merrygoround
I wanna be reckless
I wanna be vain
I wanna make love like a runaway train
Life's been good I said
I'm 10,000 miles ahead
The day I rest is the day I die
I've got a past like a broken wing
But you ain't seen anything
I'm still learning how to fly
I'm still learning how to fly

of that old grey house where I was born and raised.
Staring at the dusty fields
where my daddy worked hard everyday.
I think it kinda hurt him when I said,

Loretta Lynn - "I'm A Honky Tonk Girl" Ever since you left me I've done nothing but wrong
Many nights I've laid awake and cried
We was so happy
My heart was in a whirl
But now I'm a honky tonk girl
So turn that jukebox way up high

Men would search for wealth untold.
They'd dig for silver and for gold,
And leave the empty holes.

Dean Martin - "My Rifle, My Pony And Me" The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream

With my three...
Marty Robbins - "Doggone Cowboy" I'm kin to the rovin' wind that brings the norther in
Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand
The steers are big and bold and the nights are often cold
But I'll get by so long as I can
