Learning To Fly, lyric by Tom Petty

from the songs album Greatest Hits

Well i started out down a dirty r oad
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as i crossed the hill
The town lit up the world got still

I'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing

Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So i started out for god kno ws where
But i guess i'll know when i get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly
I'm learning to fly
