| If I Were An Angel |
| (Matraca Berg/Gary Harrison) They say I latched onto you Like you was the last train leaving town But you just kept on moving, boy Left me here to live you down Momma said she'd send a wire And cried on the phone Said, you'll always be my angel girl Won't you come back home Well, if I was an angel I could fly over Jordan And I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul But maybe that's a good thing 'cause I'll be home before I know And if I was an angel I'd have a long way to go So I got a job as a waitress In some God forsaken place Guess there's no choosing where you land When you fall from grace Well, I'm not sure what keeps me here My shame or my fool pride Well, neither one can give me wings Or offer me a ride Well, if I was an angel I could fly over Jordan And I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul But maybe that's a good thing 'cause I'll be home before I know And if I was an angel I'd have a long way to go And oh, tonight I'll be dreaming Of the cracks in the sidewalk And a face through the window Back to a place I belong And if I was an angel I could fly over Jordan And I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul But maybe that's a good thing 'cause I'll be home before I know And if I was an angel I'd have a long way to go Well, maybe that's a good thing cause I'll be home before I know And if I was an angel I'd have a long way to go |
