Still Learning How to Fly Songtext
von Rodney Crowell

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 merry-go-round
I wanna be reckless
I wanna be vain
I wanna make love like a runaway train

Life's been good, I said
I′m ten thousand 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
