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
