Came here after the Kelce documentary. Absolutely beautiful song.

Just heard this song for the 1st time while watching the Documentary on Jason Kelce. Great song!

1 million people have had their lives improved from this song

Here because of Jason Kelce. For anyone else who found themselves here for the same reason, go check out John Prine. You're gonna love him. RIP John. Then check out the Avett Brothers. You're really gonna love them!

Thank you Jason Kelce for this amazing song. Made me emotional when watching the documentary.

Jason kelce lead me here and I am glad

Ive been singing this song to my son for 38 yrs now...describe him spot on...❤

Thank you Jason Kelce for introducing me to this song and this fabulous songwriter. I’m just saddened that I missed him until now.

"He did not know he could not fly, and so he did" Rest in peace to my idol.

Jason Kelce brought me here 💚🦅

Obligational thanks to Jason kelce and his awesome documentary for bringing me to this song.

I also came here after the Kelce documentary Simply Amazing beautiful song

Wrote a final verse in the memory of Guy’s passing. The greatest poet and purveyor of sonic prose that Texas ever birthed: Well he got good weather, He was light as feather, as he jumped into the air. Flying high, Caressed the sky, As he climbed eternal stairs. Well they laid him down, Into the ground, With that old flour sack cape. He passed the test, He flew the best, So we laid that cape to rest.

I am thinking of leaving illinois where I'd worked my whole life; to go to New Mexico (now that I'm retired). This song will be like a prayer to me as I head out on that long journey, alone, in my car. Ya gotta always just trust your cape ...

Can't believe I hadn't heard this song before the Kelce documentary!! This is now my go-to song when the world gets me down. Always brings me back up....

Wonderful song!! Heard this song on the documentary “ Kelce”

Who else is here because of Jason Kelce talking about this song? ❤

Eight years old with a floursack cape Tied all around his neck He climbed up on the garage Figurin' what the heck He screwed his courage up so tight The whole thing came unwound He got a runnin' start and bless his heart He headed for the ground He's one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath Always trust your cape All grown up with a floursack cape Tied around his dreams He was full of spit and vinegar He was bustin' at the seams He licked his finger and he checked the wind It was gonna be do or die He wasn't scared of nothin' boys And he was pretty sure he could fly He's one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath Always trust your cape Old and grey with a floursack cape Tied all around his head He's still jumpin' off the garage Will be till he's dead All these years the people said He's actin' like a kid He did not know he could not fly So he did He's one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath Always trust your cape

Kelce Movie brought me here. Really awesome movie

My favorite songwriter for half a century. I cried when I heard of his passing. Somewhere, he's flying now.

When i was 6 or 7, I tied rope to the corners of a bedsheet that I figured was a parachute. I climbed up in the backyard tree and jumped. I'm still jumpin...

Little did I know in 1967, at the Old Quarters in Houston that I had the privilege to get to know Guy Clark, listening to his songs and sharing joints.

I prefer listen to guys like Guy Clark, they tell a thousand page book in four minutes. Just imagine the rest, that's enough for me.

Kelce, a name that will go down into history as the greatest brother duo in sports to ever live. With that said, is there really a song more fitting for the Sexy Batman and his Philly green cape.

Sending this to my soulmate tomorrow

This was my childhood in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. I always jumped off the garage as a child

Thank you, Jason kelce for bringing attention to this song and for all that you have done for Philadelphia.

I met Guy at Swing City Music when I was a kid. He gave me a ten second lesson on how to Travis pick. Said it would change the way I played forever. He was right. Sat down and learned this one today, I had never heard it before last week. He's still teaching. Thanks Guy.

Apparently God is planning an epic concert soon as we have lost another legend

An irreplaceable talent. Rest in peace, Guy.

I am a hang glider pilot and recently heard this song for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes! Amazing song, thanks Guy.

I'm guessing there's gonna be a lot of comments coming due to kelce documentary which featured this song coming. Great documentary great song

Heavy hearts this morning. Thank you for crossing into my orbit, Guy. My life is better for it.

I first heard this song several years ago sung by a local group, Holy Water and Whiskey. This is beautiful, but they are still my favorite.

YIP! I'm here because of the Kelce documentary ❤ wonderful song

What an amazing song!! Love it… 😍 awesome lyrics, wonderful delivery, and fantastic guitar pickin!! 🎶❤️🎶😎✌️

When my younger brother was 8, he actually jumped off of the garage with his cape on. I still send this to him every year. He is also dyslexic, so he didn't do so well in school. Life was a leap of faith for him. I got a college degree. He didn't... And is now making twice my salary.

Guy Clark was an angel on earth can you see The next angel

Go Birds!

Guy Clark is true Texas Treasure.

I want to change my life.. this helps my heart so much

19yrs ago....and still have this Song Playing in my Mind....... Thank God.....I Wouldn't want anything less.

Say hello to Townes for me, Guy. Happy trails.

An American Americana original. RIP Guy Clark.

Heard this at open mic... made me cry in public!

One word here: Masterpiece.

A little known american treasure, thanks Guy.

True American Treasure.

Thank you for this very meaningful look at life [ Don't tell anybody but I still have my cape and I still trust it ] I'm 48 and still a kid and love It

Always trust your cape...you can fly now Guy Clark.

What a treat. He's pretty sure he could fly... Exactly,,,

Glad this song is getting more recognition. I've been listening for years but the Kelce doc made it more popular.

Never heard of him until the news tonight. Listening to this. In tears.

God Bless Guy Clark. You mattered!

Never been a huge fan of country/folk but have always loved townes and guy clark. Such great writers and they put their heart into every word. RIP

Tears at the loss of this great one. I haven''t seen this version before. I suspect it's fairly recent. Interesting that he wrote this song so many years ago (1975) and here he is singing it with every bit as much commitment to the truth, as if he'd written it with the life experience he had at the time of this performance.

I wonder how many people who have never heard of Guy Clark realize how many of the people they DO know have been influenced by him. One of a kind.

I play this wonderful song to remember a certain day, and an event, regarding my youngest son, who was then age 7. It's a true story, all the way and to this day. (love you, kiddo.) ( yer mom)

This song is awesome 👌 Always trust your cape, and don't be afraid ♥️ to fly ♥️ 😉 ✨️

My son is getting married next month and this is the song I chose for our mother son dance.

Such amazing songwriting! WOW!!!!

Singing with your eyes closed that's a lost art

Me too, great song . Powerful message.

The "Kelce" documentary brought me here

It always makes me smile, even shed a tear or two. Old Guy sure could write a song, that could be me or you! ~RIP buddy. Your songs live on forever.

love this song! I did exactly that at age 9 or 10. Same result as Guy. I am 78 now.

Made me tear up halfway through the first verse and I like to think of myself as pretty hard-nosed. How did he create something that can cut through thick armor like a hot knife through butter. It's a marvel. Thank you!

I'm watching this with tears in my eyes. So simple, sweet, and soulful. I had literally discovered Guy Clark like a month ago. If anything good comes from losing these wonderful musicians, it might be the younger generation learning about them all over again.

The man was a wordsmith, unparalleled.

Who dared to give this brilliant song a thumbs down?

Love this song.

One of the best songs ever. I listen to this one on repeat. "He did not know he could not fly, so he did..."

That’s me in Springfield Missouri in the 40s

I love this song ❤️❤️❤️

RIP Guy, we have lost a legend. Thank you for the music.

One of my all time favorite songs. Thank you Guy for your words and music, you have been a big part of my life. Rest in Peace Guy.

I don't know but to me the introduction to this song sounds a lot like America ." This is for all the lonely people. "

I love you guy Clark

Another Gem!

Here's to you Guy. Back to hanging out with Townes and Susanna.

A Master Song Writer, thanks for your songs, rest in peace.

God Bless you, Guy Clark! My biggest lesson in life! ❤️

This song reminds me of my father and it means a lot every time I hear it. One of my favorites….

When I was about six years old I had a red cape my mamma made for me. I was Superman. So I figured I could fly. I jumped off the garage but had just enough doubt to jump feet first. I never tried again. Thanks Guy for a memory. You’re missed.

Who is here after Jason kelce's documentary?

I see this and "Die Tryin'" as companion pieces that I try and come back to every so often to try and remind me to take more chances. I've been playing it safe too long.

RIP. you will be missed very much.

One of the best songwriters. Love Guy Clark.

I have been a Guy Clark fan forever. thanks for enriching our lives so much, Guy.

I found Guy Clark in the mid 70s and have held him in my heart forever. I turn on people that I feel would appreciate him. The one that do are so appreciative the ones that dont just need more time. His music is absolutely timeless.

I came here because Guy Clark is one of the greatest songwriters of all time

Used this as my walk out song when doin back yard MMA. Jacks me right up. Life creedo

I got turned on to this song when I heard Eric Bibb's cover on Sirius XM a few weeks ago. It resonates with me on so many levels. Especially now. Things are pretty dicey for me at work. The company I work for has had 4 different corporate owners in the last 2 years and our CEO just quit. I managed to survive several layoffs. But, God knows the job markets are not kind to people like me in their mid 50's. "He's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith spread you arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape." I gotta trust my cape

Have listened to this album over and over and over.....so many times. One of my all time favorites. All the way through.

What a prolific songwriter !! Guy Clark is my all time favorite ! Never give up on your dreams ! Never give up on hope ! Keep on chasing that dream !! RIP my friend......

Rest in peace, Guy Clark!!! Thanks for your awesome music!!!

I'm getting married in a week and have had flour sack capes made for each other. At the end of the ceremony we are going to tie our's on and play this song with our "leap of faith'. Our capes represent God's hand on our shoulders how can't get more trustworthy than that. Thank you Guy RIP.

Great song!

How can anyone give a dislike to this Song ?????? Ununderstandable
