And he wasn't scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly

My HERO. If he were still around, I'd be following him around, helpless to the cause. This is, perhaps, the best song ever. I get chills every time it comes on the radio.

I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been too proud
To come in out of the rain



My next tattoo, if I ever get one, has always been Mad Dog Margaritas.

And the original song that brought me to Guy, besides Homegrown Tomatoes.

THE CAPE

Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heck, well
He screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he's headed for the ground

Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

Now, he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dream
And he's full of spit and vinegar and he's bustin' at the seam
Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind, it's gonna be do or die
And he wasn't scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly

Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

Now, he's old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
And he's still jumpin' off the garage and will be till he's dead
All these years the people said, he was actin' like a kid
He did not know he could not fly and so he did

Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
Yes, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

And one more, just in case you've also fallen madly in love with Guy Clark...
