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 I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well, the good ol' days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well, some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown So I've started out for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there I'm learning to fly around the clouds But what goes up must come down
Sometimes life, will get you down, break your heart, steal your crown.

But I am seeking more than that.

We were pretty efficient in the first half. Our passing was pretty good against their zone.
This award comes at a particularly nice time as the Heartbreakers and I go into the thirtieth year of our career. I'm very honored that Billboard has acknowledged me with this award.

like a deer in the headlights, frozen in real time and I'm losing my mind, it's time to move on
They are a scrappy team and they didn't quit. They battled the whole way.
We're rather fond of it and we think you'll like it, too.
I really do love coming to this particular place.
