fly high Lyrics

Well way back in '99 I lost my pride in Louisiana

Been searching across the world both high and low

Now the question does arise"boy what brought you out here to Denver?"

And if I'm being honest I don't know

Not a job nor pretty girl could ever separate my love from

Friends and family both understand

That sometimes so you can fly you gotta leap off of that mountain

And this is how that boy became the man

So fly high my dear

I don't know if I'll be back around come this time next year

So shoot way past the stars

Cuz the moon is so much closer than we ever would've thought

Well way back to when the levees broke and ruined all our hope

We were up in Arkansas to pass the time

I was only six years old but I remember how it felt when

I walked into that school for the first time

I sat down next to this pretty girl I think her name was Mary

Pure but not the momma of Jesus Christ

There's a lesson learned in getting hurt, I think it's necessary

And if you fly away don't go too high

So fly high my dear

I don't know if I'll be back around come this time next year

So shoot way past the stars

Cuz the moon is so much closer than we ever would've thought

So fly high my dear

I don't know if I'll be back around come this time next year

So shoot way past the stars

Cuz the moon is so much closer than we ever would've thought

Comin back down to St. Rose no I can't wait to hug my momma

Show her all the pictures of where I've been

All the laughs, I've missed the voices of my siblings and my father

Holding back my tears I shook his hand

So fly high my dear

I don't know if I'll be back around come this time next year

So shoot way past the stars

Cuz the moon is so much closer than we ever would've thought

So fly high my dear

I don't know if I'll be back around come this time next year

So shoot way past the stars

Cuz the moon is so much closer than we ever would've thought

Well way back in '99 I lost my pride in Louisiana

Been searching across the world both high and low

I don't know if I am destined to stay way up here in Denver

But I don't think I'm ever coming home

No I don't think I'm ever coming home
