Merle Haggard — Some of Us Fly

[Verse] 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 [Verse] When life deals you a hand, you don't throw it away And the cards that you draw are the cards that you play Some don't give a damn, some give it their all Some of us fly, but all of us fall [Bridge] Some spiral down in a circle Some climb too 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 [Verse] 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 they're already tall Some of us fly, but all of us fall
