Still Learning How to Fly

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 the dreams that die hard With old 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 want to go faster I don't want to slow down I don't want to get off of this merrygoround I want to be reckless I want to be vain I want to 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 --- Still Learning How To Fly - Rodney Crowell
