You Gonna Fly
Keith Urban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Mm, yeah ah)

One, two, three, baby, don't think twice
Just like that you gotta brand new life
Hop in this truck and run through the red lights, uh

Yeah, where you wanna go, baby, name the town
We can go up north, we could head down south
Roll down the windows with the radio loud

Come on turn it up, yeah
Start living your life
On the double, leave your troubles behind
You and me we're gonna be alright

But you could be a black bird
On a country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe, you gonna fly with me
And you could be a songbird from a New Orleans
Scared of the rain, you're so scared to sing
But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me

Well, here we are baby in the back of my bed
Sun's going down, sky's turning red
Stars coming out
Baby, look at you now

God, knows how long but its been a while
Since I heard you laugh and I've seen that smile
Felt that kiss and I could get use to this
Baby, I could get use to this

'Cause you could be a black bird
On a country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe, you gonna fly with me
Ooh, you could be a songbird from a New Orleans
Scared of the rain, you're so scared to sing
But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me, woo

You're gonna fly
But you're gonna fly

Yeah, uh

And you could be a black bird
On a country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me
And you could be a songbird from a New Orleans
Scared of the rain, you're so scared to sing
But you better believe, yeah, you better believe, oh baby

Oh, you could be a black bird
On a country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me, ooh yeah
You could be a songbird from a New Orleans
Scared of the rain 'cause you're scared to sing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me

You're gonna fly
You're gonna fly with me, baby




You better believe, my honey girl
Ooh yeah, you're goin' to fly
