Rodney Crowell - Still Learning How to Fly lyrics

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 your dreams that die hard With these 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 wanna go faster I don't wanna slow down I don't wanna get off of this merrygoround I wanna be reckless I wanna be vain I wanna 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
