Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Learning to Fly Acoustic Cover by Missie Sue

This is one of my favorite Tom Petty songs. I only did one take of this song, and messed it up, but decided to upload it anyway because it's still good until the end. (It's all about the recovery.) I was recording a bunch of other stuff, and I only played this song one time, but it's one of my favorite songs to play, so I would like it up here. Hope you enjoy my version, I'll put a better video up someday. Did I mention I need a new guitar? Well, you'll see...

Tom Petty
Learning to Fly

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
A the town lit up the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing

Well the good old 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
Comin' down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I started out for God knows where
But I guess Ill know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly
I'm learning to fly

Hi! I've rediscovered your video and I've been meaning to tell you--you did the smart thing. You made a mistake but you kept on going. You're right--it's all about the recovery. I was in a band too and I learned that when you goof, don't call attention to it.

Thanks, bigbprelude. I didn't notice about the sound being off before.
