„The sky was the limit“
(Into the Great Wide Open)

„But what goes up must come down“
(Learning to Fly)

„Free fallin' “
(Free Fallin')





Eddie waited ′til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub, he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

verse

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

chorus

I′m learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing

verse

Well, the good old days
May not return
And the rocks might melt
And the sea may burn

chorus

I′m learning to fly (learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings (learning to fly)
Coming down (learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing (learning to fly)

verse

Well, some say life
Will beat you down
Break your heart
Steal your crown
So I started out
For God knows where
I guess I'll know
When I get there

chorus

I′m learning to fly
Around the clouds
But what goes up (learning to fly)
Must come down
I′m learning to fly (learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing
I′m learning to fly (learning to fly)
Around the clouds
But what goes up (learning to fly)
Must come down

outro

I'm learning to fly (learning to fly, learning to fly)
I′m learning to fly (learning to fly, learning to fly)
(learning to fly, learning to fly)

verse

She′s a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, is crazy ′bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
And it's a long day livin' in Reseda
There′s a freeway runnin′ through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, ′cause I don't even miss her
I′m a bad boy for breakin' her heart

chorus

And I′m free
Free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free
Free fallin′

verse

And all the vampires walkin′ through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard (Ventura Boulevard)
And all the bad boys are standin' in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts

chorus

And I′m free
I'm free fallin′
Yeah, I'm free
Free fallin′

hook

Free fallin', now I'm free fallin′, now I′m
Free fallin', now I′m free fallin', now I′m

verse

I wanna glide down over Mulholland (oh-ah)
I wanna write her name in the sky (oh-ah)
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin′ (oh-ah)
Gonna leave this world for a while (oh-ah)

chorus

And I'm free (free fallin', now I′m free fallin′, now I'm)
Free fallin′ (free fallin', now I′m free fallin', now I′m)
Yeah, I'm free (free fallin', now I′m free fallin′, now I'm)
Free fallin′ (free fallin', now I′m free fallin', now I′m)

bridge

Free fallin', now I'm free fallin′, now I′m
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin′

hook

Oh! (Free fallin', now I′m free fallin', now I′m)
Free fallin' (free fallin', now I′m free fallin′, now I'm)
And I′m free (free fallin', now I′m free fallin') oh! (Now I′m)

outro

Free fallin' (free fallin', now I′m free fallin′, now I'm)
Free fallin′, now I'm free fallin′, now I'm
Free fallin′ (free fallin', now I'm free...)
