lyrics

I’m gonna fly way up high. I’m not gonna stop ‘till I touch the sky
I’m gonna fly. Oh Lord, I’m gonna fly!
Just like a bird on guilded wing, I’m gonna open up my throat and Lord I’m gonna sing!
I’m gonna sing, to every living thing!

And ain’t nobody gonna slow me down,
Can’t keep a kookaburra down on solid ground
Gotta live a life of laughter, spreading it around
With every song, while the day is long.

Got an old beat up Chevy, lord it loves to drive
Never failed to start though the paint is chippin’ off the side
Oh what a ride, Oh lord its quite a ride!
Got an old man too lord he loves to dance
Like he caught a little critter just a crawlin up his pants
He loves to dance. Oh lord he loves to dance

Chorus

With every note of blues and every pair of worn out shoes
I find myself ‘a thanking God, whatever god I choose.
My god is love. Too big to fit in one small glove.

And ain’t nobody gonna slow me down,
Can’t keep a kookaburra down on solid ground
Gotta live a life of love, just a spreading it around
With every song, cuz the day is only just so long.

So I’m gonna fly way up high. I’m not gonna stop ‘till I touch the sky
I’m gonna fly. Oh Lord, you know I’m gonna fly!
Just like that bird on guilded wing, I’m gonna open up my throat and Lord I’m gonna sing!
I’m gonna sing, to every living thing!
