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 



Baby someday you?ll get over your fear of flying
