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 chain 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,hey i'm gonna fly
