I Can't Fly Lyrics

I never learned to fly that's my greatest regret

I put it all on the line for an ounce of respect

My hope's in the sky but my boots are on deck

With a hole in my heart and a noose around my neck

Just another scallywag looking for gold

Been a million places seen sights untold

From the Blueridge mountains out traversing the land

To waking on a beach with a drink in each hand

Seen life turn to ash for the sake of the cash

Seen Davey Jones locker and a mermaid splash

If you don't believe in magic can you ever really dream?

Sometimes a happy thought is harder than it seems

I don't mind the dirt if they understand the worth

Life as a husk man nothing could be worse

When my time is up let it go let it be

Sail the long night it's a pirates life for me

Point me to the medicine man don't need a doctor

Its not a real journey unless I got a little za za

Fire in my heart and I blaze a new trail

Then find a new map if the road goes stale

Following the call like a siren's song

Out among the stars is where I belong

Even in the storm I'mma find a way through

No I'm not perfect but my compass Stay True

Grappled in the past of a life of mediocrity

So I chose a path of a troubadour philosophy

Listening to Socrates I know I know nothing

But the star dust gathered in our hair means something

All our tribulations are just a minor threat

If you fishing for some peace you gotta use a wider net

Count all your blessings before you go to bed

I never learned to fly that's my greatest regret
