Intro: (since the CD fades in this is what I play for the intro) Seven years old in my radio flyer Red cape tied around my neck, top of Thompson's hill Billy said I was a liar and now I'm scared half to death Becky said Billy was dumb I shouldn't listen to him But I had something to prove Ain't nobody gonna call me a chicken Gotta do what you gotta do I'm gonna fly - - - - Defy space and gravity I'm gonna fly - - - - Billy just you wait and see I was just a kid barely 18 years And I couldn't wait to graduate, confident and cocky And man it really got me when I heard my daddy say You oughtta get some knowledge, you gotta go to college Gotta make something of your life But I had to do it my way so I headed for the highway And I followed those little white lines I'm gonna fly - - - - Defy space and gravity I'm gonna fly - - - - Making my own destiny Well I crashed and I burned but I don't regret it You only fail if you don't try I'm gonna brush off the ashes and just forget it I ain't perfect yet but you can bet someday I'm gonna get my wings and fly Interlude: (hey hey) I'm gonna fly - - - - Defy space and gravity I'm gonna fly - - - - Hey you just go to believe I'm gonna fly - - - - Making my own destiny I'm gonna fly - - - - Yeah you just got to believe Outro:
