(Tom Petty/Jeff Lynne)



[Originally by Tom Petty]



Well it 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,

And the world got still.



I'm learnin' to fly,

But I ain't got wings.

Comin' down

Is the hardest thing.



Well the good ol' days

May not return.

And the rocks might melt,

And the sea may burn.



I'm learnin' to fly,

But I ain't got wings.

Comin' down

Is the hardest thing.



Well some say life

Will beat you down,

And break your heart,

Steal your crown.



So it started out

For God-knows-where.

I guess I'll know

When I get there.



I'm learning to fly

Around the clouds.

What goes up

Must come down.



I'm learnin to fly

But I ain't got wings.

Comin' down

Is the hardest thing.



I'm learnin' to fly

Around the clouds.

But what goes up

Must come down.



I'm learnin' to fly.

I'm learnin' to fly.
