Merle Haggard, Toby Keith - Some of Us Fly lyrics

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

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

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

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
