Lyrics

I’M FLYING


Nothing's gonna' stop me now, I see it all before me now, I'm flying.
I may be from this damn hick town, but I won't let that keep me down, I'm flying.
Dreamer's what they all call me, but I know what I'm meant to be, I'm flying.
To be a part of all the lights, to shine among the stars at night, I'm flying.
Chorus:
I gotta' go now, I gotta' go now, I gotta' get away
I gotta' go now, soon it will be too late
I gotta' go now, I gotta' go now, I gotta' get away
I gotta' go now, soon it will be too late.

They tell me marry, settle down, find a man to mow the lawn, start trying.
You've got the looks, you've got the class, grab a doc or lawyer fast, start trying.
Have a baby, maybe two, just like all the good girls do, start trying.
Can't they see, can't they tell, life that way's a living hell, like dying.
Chorus
Sure the stars shine in my eyes, I'll live my dreams instead of lies, I'm flying.
'Guess it means I'll go away, but I'll return in glory someday, I'm flying.
Now's the time, won't come again, grab the ring, avoid life plain, I'm flying.
Nothing's gonna' stop me now, I see it all before me now, I'm flying.
Chorus
I gotta' go now, soon it will be too late, (I'm flying)
I gotta' go now, soon it will be too late. (I'm flying)
