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 trying to break in You poor little thing, that ball and that chain must be ten thousand pounds Must be dragging 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 And 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
