Small town girl, had my bags packed
Pedal to the floor, wouldn't turn back
Knew that life in my rearview mirror just wasn't for me
Daddy tried to choke out a goodbye
Mama couldn't help but cry
Said “you better get going, it's long road chasing a dream”

Thought that I was smarter
Back when I was younger
Now that I am older
Sometimes it feels like know nothing
But I keep learning
The crash and burning's
Worth it after all
You can't fly before you fall
Can't fly before you fall

Signed the deal on the dotted line
Not a single doubt left in my mind
But glass slipper magic shatters so easily
Yeah it hurt when I hit the ground
Thought I might just stay down
But when I got back up that big blue sky was
Still calling me

Thought that I was smarter
Back when I was younger
Now that I am older
Sometimes it feels like know nothing
But I keep learning
The crash and burning's
Worth it after all
You can't fly before you fall
Can't fly before you fall

When your back's against the wall
cnd you're scared to lose it all
You can't fly before you fall

Thought that I was smarter
Now that I am older
Thought that I was smarter
Back when I was younger
Now that I am older
Sometimes it feels like know nothing
But I keep learning
The crash and burning's
Worth it after all
You can't fly before you fall
Can't fly before you fall
When your back's against the wall
cnd you're scared to lose it all
You can't fly before you fall
