Let them come by horse
Let them come by train
Let them send the army for the ghost of the plane
Singing, cheer up, cheer up, cheer up
Let them say these things
The lovers let us down
So we tore off their wings and ran them from town
Singing, chin up, chin up, chin up
You were right out in reign when you met me
I opened your eyes or you never should have let me
Trade all those memories for this cheap pair of wings
I've held them together with wire and strings
Some hearts crick like shut-ins
Yours is sported up real tight
I'm sure it's just out for cold
Sure, it's just out for light
Oh, you've thrown me to the wolves
You've thrown me to the wolves
Let them come by horse
Let them come by train
Let them send the army for the ghost of the plane
Singing, cheer up, cheer up
