Well, I started out down a dirty road Started out all alone… - Tom Petty

" "
Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

Additional quotes by Tom Petty

I don't feel you anymore.
You darken my door.
Whatever you're looking for.
Hey don't come around here no more.

There is no sense in pretending,
Your eyes give you away.
Something inside you is feeling like I do,
We've said all there is to say.

Sometimes life, will get you down, break your heart, steal your crown.
