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
