Can You Fly

Can You Fly is the second album by singer-songwriter Freedy Johnston. It was released in 1992 on Bar/None Records. Robert Christgau called it "a perfect album".

In order to finance the recording of the album, Johnston sold some farmland that he inherited from his grandfather. This decision is mentioned in the opening lines of the first track, "Trying to Tell You I Don't Know".

The song "California Thing" appeared on the soundtrack of the film Heavy, starring Liv Tyler and Deborah Harry.

"The Lucky One" was covered by Mary Lou Lord on her 1998 album Got No Shadow.

    Can You Fly

    by: Freedy Johnston

    Walking from the bus stop
    Couldn't wait to get off
    I know I am the lucky one
    Walking through the twilight
    Cold Nevada twilight
    I know I am the lucky one
    On the wheels
    On the tabletop
    On the handles with my shirt off
    On the floor
    On my heels again
    I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one
    I'm standing on the corner
    If I could find a dollar
    I know I'd be the lucky one
    Standing in the last light
    Artificial daylight
    I know I am the lucky one
    On the wheels
    On the tabletop
    On the handles with my shirt off
    On the floor
    On my heels again
    I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one
    On the wheels
    On the tabletop
    On the handles with my shirt off
    On the floor
    On my heels again
    I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one
    Walking to the bus stop
    Couldn't wait to get off
    I know I am the lucky one
    Walking through the twilight
    Cold Nevada starlight
    I know I am the lucky one
