Just a skinny kid with ripped up jeans Not a boy, not a man, something in-between Are they ever gonna take, gonna take me seriously Every day on the bus from school while the other kids are playin' it cool My head is in the clouds and I'm pullin' out some serious G's I've got a future in the sky somewhere One day I'm gonna make it up there I'm gonna put these iron wings into the sky I'm gonna fire it up and leave this world behind Everything makes sense up here When I'm tearin' through the atmosphere I'm a maverick I was made to fly Just a fly boy with ripped up jeans Not a Top Gun yet, something in-between How'm I ever gonna be what I'm gonna be here on the ground They won't put me at the top of my class They say I like goin' too fast Are they ever gonna stop, ever gonna stop slowin' me down There's a bogey in the sky somewhere One day I'm gonna meet him up there I'm gonna put these iron wings into the sky I'm gonna fire it up and leave this world behind Everything makes sense up here When I'm tearin' through the atmosphere I'm a maverick I was made to fly There's a bogey in the sky somewhere One day I'm gonna meet him up there I'm gonna put these iron wings into the sky I'm gonna fire it up and leave this world behind Everything makes sense up here When I'm tearin' through the atmosphere I'm a maverick I was made to fly
