Oh, I swear this town gets smaller everyday
And I'm waiting for my chance, I'm gonna break away
I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me
People got lots of ideas, who I'm supposed to be

Angel carry me, oh so far away
May my body never touch the ground
And If I promise you I'll be back someday
Will you set me free so I can fly away?

Fly away
Fly away

Well, most folks here, they don't dig too deep
They can't dream too big, ummm, 'cause they've got fields to keep
I could walk away and leave behind my family
Or get buried alive in this legacy

Angel carry me, oh so far away
May my body never touch the ground
And If I promise you I'll be back someday
Will you set me free so I can fly away?

Fly away
Fly away

I wanna sleep under a different piece of sky
I wanna live a little bit before I die
I wanna be so close to heaven I see angels

Carry me, oh so far away
May my body never touch the ground
And If I promise you I'll be back someday
Will you set me free so I can fly away?

Fly away
Fly away

Fly away
Fly away
