Fly Away

Sugarland

Oh I swear this town gets smaller everyday,
And I'm waiting for my chance.
I'm gonna break away.
I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me.
People got lots of ideas, of who I'm supposed to be.

[Chorus]
Angel carry me, oh so far away.
May my body never, touch the ground.
And If I promise you that I'll be back someday,
Will you set me free so I can fly away?

Fly away, fly away

Well most folks here well they don't dig too deep.
They can't dream too big
Cause they've got fields to keep
I could walk away and leave my family.
Or get buried alive in this legacy.

[Chorus]

I want to sleep under a different piece of sky
I want to live a little bit before I die
I want to be so close to heaven I see angels

[Chorus]

Fly away fly away

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
