歌词

[00:29.53] Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
[00:36.35] He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heck, well
[00:41.03] He screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound
[00:46.78] He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he's headed for the ground
[00:50.95]
[00:54.40] Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[01:00.72] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
[01:13.89]
[01:20.26] Now, he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dream
[01:26.47] And he's full of spit and vinegar and he's bustin' at the seam
[01:32.19] Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind, it's gonna be do or die
[01:38.40] And he wasn't scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly
[01:46.39] Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[01:52.55] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
[02:01.70]
[02:25.95] Now, he's old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
[02:30.70] And he's still jumpin' off the garage and will be till he's dead
[02:37.56] All these years the people said, he was actin' like a kid
[02:43.12] He did not know he could not fly and so he did
[02:51.03] Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[02:55.77] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
[03:02.90] Yes, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
[03:09.52] Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
