I've worn down these wheels so much that they don't even spin   i picked the lock to your heart like i were trying to break in   you poor little thing that ball and that chain must be 10,000 pounds   must be dragging you down by now      so fly away, fly away like you always wanted to do    don't be afraid baby, I'll make it easy on you   I'll be the strong one, because i love you still   if you can't say goodbye, baby, i will   i just hope someday you'll get over your fear of flying      we've been running from the truth so long that we can't catch our breaths   oh, and a heartache and a bottle of whiskey is all we go left   well you poor little thing, locked up in your cage   I'm not the one stepping on your wings      so fly away, fly away like you always wanted to do   don't be afraid baby, I'll make it easy on you   don't say a word, don't make a sound, just go on and take your feet off the ground   i hope someday you'll get over your fear of flying      you poor little thing, that ball and that chain must be 10,000 pounds   must be dragging you down by now      so fly away, fly away like you always wanted to do   I'll say goodbye baby, I'll make it easy on you.   i love you, i hate you, I'll miss you like hell   but most of all baby, I'll wish you well   but maybe one day I'll be over these tears I'm crying   ooh, and someday you'll be over your fear of flying...
