If I Was An Angel

(专辑： Chasin' Wild Trains - 2004)

They say I latched on to 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'
Won't you come back home?

Well if I was an angel, I could fly over Jordan
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 godforsaken place
Guess there's no choosing where you land when you fall from grace
I'm not sure what keeps me here my shame or my fool pride
Neither one can give me wings or offer me a ride

Well if I was an angel, I could fly over Jordan
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

Oh tonight I'll be dreaming of the cracks in the sidewalk
A face through the window and it's back to a place I belong

Well if I was an angel, I could fly over Jordan
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
