The Cape Lyrics

	Guy Clark
	Well he's eight years old he's got a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
	He's climbing up on top the garage figurin’ what the heck
	He screws his courage up so darn tight, that the whole thing come unwound
	He got a runnin’ start and bless his heart, he headed for the ground
	Chorus 'Cause he’s one of those who knows his life
	Is just a leap of faith
	Gotta' spread your arms and hold your breath
	And always trust your cape
	Well he's all grown up, he's got a flour sack cape, tied all around his dream
	He’s full of piss and vinegar, ah, he’s bustin’ at the seams
	He licks his finger and checks the wind, it’s gonna be do or die
	He wasn’t scared of nothin’, boys, he was pretty sure he could fly
	Chorus Now he's old and grey 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 the fool was actin’ like a kid
	And since he didn't know he couldn't fly, well of course he did
	Chorus
