Mama used to teach, and preacher used to preach   There's angels watchin' over me   There here to shield you   So you don't yield   To the devil when your soul gets weak      But they're hard to hear when you're jammin' gears   And they're always hangin' back   Yeah they try to chase but if they wanna save me   They better step on the gas      'Cause I'm livin' faster than my angels can fly   Yeah I been wearin' the wings off mine   I'm bound to die livin' life   Faster than my angels can fly   Yeah, faster than my angels can fly      There's days I regret this hitch in my step   And scars on my boots and hands   All those times I rushed   To get growed up   In a hurry to become a man      And the promises I made   And the hearts I break   All in the name of fun      Yeah, I apologize   But got no time    For no tie-me-up, slow-me-down love         I'm livin' faster than my angels can fly   Yeah I been wearin' the wings off mine   I'm bound to die livin' life   Faster than my angels can fly   Yeah, faster than my angels can fly      Yeah I'm slowin' down   I ain't what I was   Still they ain't got a prayer   Of ever catchin' up   'Cause I was born to run   Born to run   Born to run      Faster than my angels an fly   Yeah I been wearin' the wings off mine   I'm bound to die livin' life   Faster than my angels can fly   Yeah, faster tan my angels can fly      Aw hell,   Faster      I said faster   I said faster   Yeah faster   Yeah faster than my angels can fly      I said faster   I said faster   Faster than my angels can fly      I said faster, come on faster   Yeah faster than my angels can fly      Oh faster, oh faster, oh faster than my angels can fly
