Get out there this Saturday and trust your cape......

The Cape

Guy Clark, Susanna Clark, Jim Janosky

Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neckHe climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heckScrewed his courage up so tight, that the whole thing come unwoundHe 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 faithSpread 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 dreamsAnd he's full of piss and vinegar, and he's bustin' at the seamsSo he licked his finger and checked the wind, it's gonna be do or dieHe wasn't scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly

Well he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faithSpread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

Now he's old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his headAnd he's still jumpin' off the garage and will be 'til he's deadAll 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 faithSpread 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 faithSpread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your capeSpread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
