Guardian Angel

Well, it's a long hard way
 From the back-woods to the big time
 The road is paved with bad intentions
 And you know I'd be a dead man now
 If I hadn't heard these words
 That serve me up an once of prevention
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Slow it down a little
 And let her rest her wings before you die
 You're runnin' past the water
 When you know that the well is goin' dry
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Well some folks are seein' angels
 When they dream their dreams
 Some see 'em when those dark clouds
 Start to fall
 But the only one I ever saw
 Was makin' daddy's dinner
 But I sure wish I had listened to her more
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Slow it down a little
 And let her rest her wings before you die
 You're runnin' past the water
 You know the that well is goin' dry
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Now, I know I ain't no saint
 I ain't got no wings to soar
 But I'm tryin' to get to heaven
 Before they close the door
 You're runnin' past the water
 You know that the well is goin' dry
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Slow it down a little
 And let her rest her wings before you die
 You're runnin' past the water
 When you know that the well is goin' dry
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Slow it down a little
 And let her rest her wings before you die
 You're runnin' past the water
 When you know that the well is goin' dry
 Oh, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Well, don't go runnin' faster
 Than your guardian angel can fly
 Slow it down a little
 Let her rest her wings before you die
