Some Of Us Fly - Merle Haggard

We all come along, in our own given time

No way to compare, such unique design

But there’s one common trait

To the scheme of it all

Some of us fly, all of us fall

When life deals you a hand you don’t throw it away

The cards that you draw are the cards that you play

Some don’t give a damn

Some give it there all

Some of us fly but all of us fall

Some spiral down in a circle

Some climb to steeply and stall

Some make the bet some ponder it yet

Some pass, some raise, some call

Some play it smart

I had a ball

Some of us fly but all of us fall

Some squander life, some turn it around

Some look to the sky, but they can’t leave the ground

Some reach for the stars

When there already tall

Some of us fly but all of us fall
