Born to fly (Country 1, 2001)     (video)

G C G - C

1. I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow

F Bb F - Bb

about the places that I'd like to see.

C D Em

I say, "Friend do you think I'll ever get there ?"

C D G

Aw, but he just stands there smiling back at me.

G C G - C

So I confess my sins to the preacher

F Bb F - Bb

about the love I've been praying to find.

C D Em

Is there a brown eyed boy in my future

C D G

and he says, "Girl, you've got nothing but time" ?

D C G

But how do you wait for heaven,

D C - G

and who has that much ti…..me ?

Am D C D Em D G

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

C D - D7 G

when you know that you were b…..orn, you were born to fly ?

2. My daddy is grounded like the oak tree,

F Bb F - Bb

my momma she is steady as the sun.

C D Em

Oh, you know I love my folks, but I keep staring down the road,

C D G

just looking for my one chance to run.

G C G - C

Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird,

F Bb F - Bb

I will blow in the wind like a seed,

C D Em

I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams

C D G

and I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free.

D C G

But how do you wait for heaven,

D C - G

and who has that much ti…..me ?

Am D C D Em D G

And how do you keep your feet on the ground
