Here is the full-band version of Flyaloo. It was important to me that I expand upon the unplugged demo I did several years ago. This was originally a pretty short song, but as I grew as a songwriter, I saw it as an opportunity to expand on the idea.
lyrics
I'll admit that I bucked a few trees
Had tears in my eyes
When I finally got the news
When I put together my twos and twos
That I can't have the life I wanted to choose
That I'll never be able to fly
It seemed oh so unfair
It's almost way too much to bear
That these so-called wings on my back
Had no business being there
But these wings, no, they don't make me
I got something that'll never forsake me
I don't need to be high up in the sky
To know just what it's like to soar
I can still feel the wind splashing in my face
The rush of breeze gets me watery-eyed
Truth be told, I love this so much more
This is what I was meant for
When I put on my helmet and rev up
Fear is all this speedster lacks
Destiny has opened my eyes
Showed that greatness doesn't have to fly
I'm just a blur as I race on by
As my screeching wheels burn up the tracks
This pegasus is something new
See my show I got a treat for you
I'll work my magic and I'll show you all
Exactly why my name's not "Flyaloo"
Come on, let me show you!
Here we go!
Flyaloo, I'll show you
Flyaloo, something new
Flyaloo, I'll show you
Flyaloo, something new
Flyaloo, I'll show you
Flyaloo, something new
Flyaloo, I'll show you
Flyaloo, something new
You better believe it!
'Cause I don't need to be high up in the sky
To know just what it's like to soar
I can still feel the wind splashing in my face
The rush of breeze gets me watery-eyed
Truth be told, I love this so much more
This is what I live for
I'm not Flyaloo, no
Oh, Flyaloo don't fly like I do
Flyaloo don't fly like I do
