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.
All songs written 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
