about

“Fly Higher” is Brian’s most recent track and was inspired by the birth of granddaughter Kiara. “Fly Higher” is a story about the joys and challenges of fatherhood.

lyrics

An old dirt road and pickup up truck
I’m a half hour late to pick her up
Her Daddy’s standing in the doorway
As I stutter out dumb things to say

He smiles at me and goes inside
And presents to me my future bride
With her Pony tails and polka dot dress
She lit up the room and I sure felt blessed

So, we drove on down to the tasty freeze
And ate ice cream ‘neath the apple trees
There we stole our very first kiss
And I thought, there ain’t nothing better than this

I wanted to…

Fly higher than the mountains
High enough to rope the moon
And I hope and I pray
Every night, every day
That I can fly high again with you.


Ten years on, same old pickup truck
I’m late again to pick her up
I grab the bag that’s in the doorway
The Baby’s due any second is what she says

So, we tear on down that old dirt road
And she holds my hand as we rode
She turns to me and says I love you
And I smile and say I love you too

A few hours later and she was here
Her beautiful face made me shed a tear
Showed her to our family in the hall
And charmed the pants off of them all

I wanted to… Chorus

Sitting here in our pickup truck
Our little girl, our buttercup
Nothing in this world could make us more proud
Then hearing her sing her song out loud

It went from diapers to climbing trees
Teddy bears and scraped up knees
Bedtime kisses on her forehead
Carrying her up and tucking her in bed

Now its pony tails and a polka dot dress
And stuttering boys all a mess
Grandpa smiles and goes inside
And I follow him in full of pride

Cause I want to… Chorus
