    LYRICS:
    Loving You Is The Only Way To Fly
    I should have moved on long ago
    Why I still want you I don’t know
    I miss your lips so tender your fingertips so slender
    That moonlit midnight sparkle in the corner of your eye
    Loving you is the only way
    Can’t find the strength to stand alone
    Can’t seem to find my way back home
    I fell so far so deep can’t eat can't breathe can’t sleep
    Which all comes down to one more round of me myself and I
    Loving you is the only way to fly
    Loving you is the only way to fly-somebody said
    Some dreams come true some pass you by-that's what they said
    Sometimes I pray you’ll come around
    And we’ll find a place somewhere in town
    I keep my hopes alive with one long free-fall dive
    I drink and think and sink into the bottom of the lie
    Loving you is the only way to fly
    Loving you is the only way to fly-somebody said
    Some dreams come true some pass you by-that's what they said

      Maybe dig a little deeper?..
      He's in the Nashville and Austin City Limits Halls of Fame.
      He had five C&W number one hits on an album, in the mid-80's, which had never been done before, or since!.. Several Grammys, for what it's worth, lol...

      "...In 2003, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame; in 2006 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting from the Americana Music Association; in 2017, he was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award; and in 2019, he was presented with the Academy of Country Music’s Poet’s Award. In addition to his prolific output as a singer, songwriter, and producer, Crowell also found time to become a celebrated author, too, publishing his memoir, Chinaberry Streets, and a lyrical retrospective, Word For Word, to widespread praise. Along the way, NPR declared him the “literarily inclined elder statesman of the Americana scene,” while Rolling Stone hailed him as a “country music trailblazer,” and the New York Times proclaimed that his songwriting “gets better and sharper with age..."

    I was a massage therapist in Austin, Texas for 35 years. One day I got a call for a massage. His name was Rodney Crowell. I wasn’t a fan of country western music at the time so I didn’t know who he was. He was staying at a local hotel and was going to be playing at a concert that evening. When I had finished he invited me to bring a friend and gave me 2 tickets to his concert. My boy friend and I went and I instantly became a fan. Also, after he finished one of his songs, he said “If the young lady who gave me a great massage this afternoon is in the audience, it really helped”. Wow, how great was that! This was in approximately the early 90’s. Been a huge fan ever since.

    I discovered RC when I bought "Diamonds and Dirt" when it was first released. Now, years later, it amazes me that, despite what he alludes to in his song "I Don't Care Anymore", forty odd years later all his best cards have NOT been played and his creations are anything but middle of the road. Mr Crowell's music keeps getting better and more heart-touching with every new creation. Rodney Crowell is to country music what Springsteen is to Rock and Roll; an icon.

    As a singer and song writer, he is right there with the late great Gordon Lightfoot. You are not going to find many people who are at this level because it takes a special person who see's things in different ways to put the words together to make these great songs. I have great respect for Rodney and his talent and I can honestly say, there is no end to his talent. God bless you Rodney.

It is EXACTLY how I have felt each time they were first released. Almost like we're in sync. Thank you for your efforts, work and dedication to giving us your love and heart.
