If I Was An Angel

Lyrics

They say I latched onto you
 Like you were 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
 Now, won't you come back home?"
 And if I was an angel
 I would fly over Jordan
 I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul
 Well, maybe that's a good thing
 I'll be home before I know
 If I was an angel
 I'd have a long way to go
 ♪
 Now I got a job as a waitress
 In this godforsaken place
 There's no choosing where you land
 Once you fall from grace
 Now 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
 If I was an angel
 I would fly over Jordan
 And I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul
 Well, maybe that's a good thing
 I'll be home before I know
 And if I was an angel
 I'd have a long way to go
 And woah, tonight I'll be dreaming
 Of the cracks in the sidewalk
 And a face through the window
 And it's back to a place I belong
 ♪
 Oh, and if I was an angel
 I would fly over Jordan
 Wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul
 Well, maybe that's a good thing
 I'll be home before I know
 'Cause if I was an angel
 I'd have a long way to go
 Well, maybe that's a good thing
 I'll be home before I know
 And if I was an angel
 I'd have a long way to go
