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
