"Fly Me Courageous" lyrics

I've got you on the loose, I left you groovin'
I've got you on the beat, I left you broken
But won't you take my place, since long ago I wandered
Way out, out on the cliff with the brilliance of an angel?

So fly me
Courageous
So fly me
Courageous

Mother America is brandishing her weapons
She keeps me safe and warm by threats and misconception
So if you break the chains, you'll have to shake me
And if you break my heart, you'll have to take me

Whoa, lady, won't you take it easy?
Push me out of
Won't you take it easy, lady?
Push me out of
Won't you take it easy, lady, oh?
Push me out of

So fly me
Courageous

I heard your whispers from the bottom of the canyon
It's not so hard to hide the rattlesnake's confusion
Wrap me high in the sky, circle me with stallions
She flew from peak to peak with freedom of an eagle

So fly me
Courageous
So fly me
Courageous
So fly me
Courageous
