Learning to Fly Lyrics and Music Video
Tom Petty Performs his hit song 'Learning to Fly'
by Tom Petty
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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
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 must come down
(Chorus)
Tom Petty and Flying, what could be better?
