Been a whole lot of

People thought me a fool

Been a time or two

I thought that I was one too

Ain't a change that can hold me

Ain't a thing I won't try

When I get through livin'

I'm gonna die

Gonna die with my boots on

Gonna go out in style

With a free-wheelin' feelin'

And a honky tonk smile

And if the devil don't dodge me

Gonna spit in his eye

When I get my wings

I'm gonna fly

Gonna fly away singin'

I'm gonna fly

Gonna wrap my

New wings 'round

Few feathered things

In that free feelin' sky

Gonna reach a new heaven

Higher than high

When I get my wings

I'm gonna fly

Gonna fly away singin'

Gonna fly away singin'

I'm gonna fly

Gonna wrap my new wings 'round

Few feathered things

In that free feelin' sky

Gonna reach a new heaven

Higher than high

When I get my wings

I'm gonna fly
