Oh I swear this town gets smaller everyday,
and I'm waitin 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... ummmmhmmm...
cause they've got fields to keep
I could walk away and leave behind my family.
Or get buried alive in this legacy.
[Chorus]
I wanna sleep under a different piece of sky
I wanna live a little bit before I die
I wanna be so close to heaven I see angels...
[Chorus]
Fly away... fly away...
and I'm waitin 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.
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?
They can't dream too big... ummmmhmmm...
cause they've got fields to keep
I could walk away and leave behind my family.
Or get buried alive in this legacy.
I wanna live a little bit before I die
I wanna be so close to heaven I see angels...
