Testo: Tom Petty – Learning To Fly
Well I 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, the world got still
I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings
Coming 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 learning to fly [(learning to fly)]
But I ain’t got wings [(learning to fly)]
Coming down [(learning to fly)]
Is the hardest thing [(learning to fly)]
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I’ve started out for God knows where
I guess I’ll know when I get there
I’m learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up [(learning to fly)]
Must come down [(learning to fly)]
I’m learning to fly [(learning to fly)]
But I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I’m learning to fly [(learning to fly)]
Around the clouds
But what goes up [(learning to fly)]
Must come down
I’m learning to fly (learning to fly)
I’m learning to fly
