Asleep at the Wheel - The Cape Lyrics

Lyrics The Cape - Asleep at the Wheel



Eight years old with a floursack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin′, "What the heck?"
He screwed up his courage up so tight
That the whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
He′s headed for the ground
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
All grown up with a floursack cape
Tied all around his dreams
And he's full of piss and vinegar
And he′s bustin′ at the seams
He licked his finger and
He checked the wind
It's gonna be do or die
He wasn′t scared of nothin' boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
He′s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
Old and gray with a floursack cape
Tied all around his head
He's still jumpin′ off the garage
And will be 'til he's dead
All these years the people said
He was actin′ like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
And so he did
He′s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
