Willie Nelson Still Learning How To Fly
[Verse 1]
The hour is early, the whole world is quiet
A beautiful morning's about to ignite
I'm ready for danger and I'm ready for fire
I'm ready for something to lift me up higher
[Chorus]
Life's been good, I guess
My ragged old heart's been blessed
With so much more than meets the eye
I've got a past that I won't soon forget
And you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm still learning how to fly
[Verse 2]
It's your dreams that die hard with these habits to break
You can't let down your guard when there's so much at stake
I'm halfway to heaven, and I'm halfway to hell
But I might roll a seven, you never can tell
[Chorus]
Life's been good, it's true
When I'm feeling just like new
The same old rules need not apply
I've got a past full of sticks and stones
And a good feeling in my bones
I'm still learning how to fly
[Bridge]
I wanna go faster, I don't wanna slow down
I don't wanna get off of this merry-go-round
I wanna be reckless and I wanna be vain
I wanna make love like a runaway train
[Chorus]
Life's been good, I said
I'm ten-thousand miles ahead
The day I rest is the day I die
I've got a past like a broken wing
But you ain't seen anything
I'm still learning how to fly
[Outro]
I'm still learning how to fly
