I CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG I ALWAYS THOUGHT I COULD FLY I WAS ALWAYS JUMPING OFF SOMETHING THEN ONE DAY I JUMPED FROM THE TOP OF THE STEPS AND THAT S WHEN I FOUND OUT I COULDNT FLY I ALMOST BROKE MY NECK
The flaw in the 1st verse just adds to the perfection - the way he picks it up, using his lyrics, "whole thing came unwound" as a humorous refrain is wonderful.
What a writer, player, performer and what an amazing song!!!!
I first saw Guy at Sand Mountain in Houston in 1966. I can't believe we have gotten so old. But I can believe he has gotten so good. He always was a cut above. His wife Suzanne was in a singing group with my friend Harriet.
All these years the people said
He’s actin’ like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did

One of the best songs ever written. Earle and Townes and this man, quite a trio of friends.

I saw Guy about 5 years ago. I realized I was watching a legend. So many great songs and he's just a regular guy (pardon the expression).

"He did not know he could not fly... and so he did." damn, I wish I could write like that!

He may have screwed up the first verse, but he has not liked noisy crowds for years. I LOVE this man.
