I've worn down these wheels so much that they don't even spin. And I've picked the lock to your heart as if I were tryin’ to break in You poor little thing, that ball and that chain must be ten thousand pounds Must be draggin’ you down by now
So fly away, fly away like you've always wanted to do Don't be afraid baby I'll make it easy on you I'll be the strong one cause I love you still If you can't say goodbye then baby I will I hope someday you'll get over your fear of flying
We've been running from the truth so long that we can't catch our breath Oh and now heartache and a bottle of whiskey is all we've got left You poor little thing, locked up in your cage And I'm not the one stepping on your wings
So fly away fly away like you always wanted to do Don’t be afraid baby I’ll make it easy on you Don't say a word and don't make a sound Just get up and take your feet off the ground I hope someday you’ll get over your fear of flying
So fly away fly away like you’ve always wanted to do I’ll say goodbye baby I’ll make it easy on you Oh I love you I hate you I miss you like hell But most of all baby I wish you well Maybe one day I’ll get over these tears I’m crying Oh and someday you’ll get over your fear of flying
