[Instrumental break]
[Verse 1: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
[Chorus: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
[Bridge 1: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]
Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
[Chorus: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
[Verse 2: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out, for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there
[Bridge 2: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]
I'm learning to fly, around the clouds
But what goes up must come down
[Chorus: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
