Paul Brandt - I'm Gonna Fly lyrics

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 d**h 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 co*ky, 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 Defying space and gravity I'm gonna fly Making my own destiny I crashed and burned, but I don't regret it You only fail when you don't try Gonna brush off the ashes and just forget it I'm ain't perfect yet but you can bet someday I'm gonna get my wings and fly I'm gonna fly Defying space and gravity I'm gonna fly You gotta believe I'm gonna fly Making my own destiny I'm gonna fly You gotta believe
