i'm gonna fly

7 years old in my radio flyer

red 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

defying space and gravity

i'm gonna fly

billy just you wait and see

i was just a kid

barely 18 years

and i couldn't wait to graduate

confident and cocky

and man

it really got me

when i heard my daddy say

you oughta get some knowledge
