(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 shed send a wire
And cried on the phone
Said, youll always be my angel girl
Wont you come back home

Well, if I was an angel I could fly over jordan
And I wouldnt need no greyhound to save my soul
But maybe thats a good thing cause Ill be home before I know
And if I was an angel Id have a long way to go

So I got a job as a waitress
In some God forsaken place
Guess theres no choosing where you land
When you fall from grace
Well, Im 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 wouldnt need no greyhound to save my soul
But maybe thats a good thing cause Ill be home before I know
And if I was an angel Id have a long way to go

And oh, tonight Ill 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 wouldnt need no greyhound to save my soul
But maybe thats a good thing cause Ill be home before I know
And if I was an angel Id have a long way to go

Well, maybe thats a good thing cause Ill be home before I know
And if I was an angel Id have a long way to go
