Never Gonna Fly

Radney Foster

Young man full of pride don't need much hope
Thinks he's got it made even when he don't
Thinks that all he's got to do is order up a beer or two
and make work what everybody tells him won't

He don't care what all those people say
He's got to bend the world his own way
He's got dreams, he's got no doubts
You're either in or you're out
It's better to burn than it is too fade

(Chorus)
You want to feel the wind
You've got to take a ride
You better dream big
If you want to touch the sky
You can't be scared to risk it all
You're never gonna fly
If you're afraid to fall

Old man don't waste time with regret
He's made mistakes along the way and yet
He smiles as he's looking back
He says, 'I'd do it all again, in fact,
You learn something new with every single scar you get'

(Repeat chorus)

I guess it's true that time really does slip away
You only lose with chances you don't take

(Repeat chorus)
