The Cape
Lyricist:Guy Clark, Susanna Clark, Jim Janosky
Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heck Screwed his courage up so tight, that the whole thing come unwound He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he headed for the ground
Well 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
Now he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dreams And he's full of piss and vinegar, and he's bustin' at the seams So he licked his finger and checked the wind, it's gonna be do or die He wasn't scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly

Now he's old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head And he's still jumpin' off the garage and will be 'til he's dead All these years the people said, 'He's actin' like a kid' He did not know he could not fly, so he did
Well 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 Yeah, 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 Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
