Fall or Fly
A Nashville demo of “Fall or Fly.”
Verse 1
I was the kid who said "look ma no hands"
And jumped my bike over five trash cans
Spent July and August with my leg in a cast
Tried to parachute off the old tool shed
With the Batman blanket from my brother's bed
I swear I caught some air before I hit my head
Prechorus
Yeah the funny thing is
I'm still that kid
Chorus
Fall or fly
That's how I live my life
Throwing myself right off the edge
No stunt double no safety net
Fall or fly
It's all or nothing time
I gotta commit and give to it
One hundred and ten percent
I take a running start and leap for the sky
I go for it all
Fall or fly
Verse 2
My guidance counselor senior year
Said "country music is a tough career"
"How you gonna make it?" I said "I'll play it by ear"
Got an old guitar and hit the road
Playing every dive bar like a headline show
Hungry all the time, but it never got old
Prechorus
Yeah, the thrill for me
Was having no plan B
Chorus
Fall or fly
That's how I live my life
Throwing myself right off the edge
No stunt double no safety net
Fall or fly
It's all or nothing time
I gotta commit and give to it
One hundred and ten percent
I take a running start and leap for the sky
I go for it all
Fall or fly
Bridge
I've crashed and burned so many times
Even my scars have scars
It always takes a lot of tries
If you wanna reach the stars
Chorus / Outro
So fall or fly
That's how I live my life
Throwing myself right off the edge
No stunt double no safety net
Fall or fly
It's all or nothing time
I gotta commit and give to it
One hundred and ten percent
I take a running start and leap for the sky
Yeah I feel the most alive when I
Go for it all
Fall or fly
