The Sky's The Limit Lyrics - Shawn Mullins

There are blackberry brambles down where the railroads cross 

And old timer trees wearing the spanish moss 

No better place for a boy to get lost in a dream 

He won't learn to tell a real lie for another year or two 

Or offer any alibis just to please you 

Forgetting the truth is something odd for him to do 

It seems the sky's the limit for the bird on the wing 

Every minute now the view is changing 

It's life on earth with the ground as an optional thing 

Well the boy becomes a bigger boy and that bigger boy yearns to write 

So his eyeballs take a good look at a new book every night 

It's cover to cover page by page as he reads left to right 

He may learn to tell his own tale in some summer yet to come 

But for now he serves it piecemeal never sure it's ever done 

And like the color of a baby's eye 

You see him change from this to that into someone 

The sky's the limit for the bird on the wing 

Every minute now the view is changing 

It's life on earth with the ground as an optional thing 

I've been staring out this window through last years fingerprints 

Studying each cloud form as it came and as it went 

Slowing down the world to a crawl is a planned accident 

The sky's the limit for the bird on the wing 

Every minute now the view is changing 

It's life on earth with the ground as an optional thing
