If I Was an Angel (Radio Edit)

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"

No, won't you come back home?

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

I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul

But maybe that's a good thing

I'll be home before I know

If I was an angel, I'd have a long way to go

I got a job as a waitress in some godforsaken place

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 nor offer me a ride

If I was an angel, I would fly over Jordan

I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul

But maybe that's a good thing

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

And a face through the window, and its back to a place I belong

Oh, if I was an angel, I would fly over Jordan

I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul

But maybe that's a good thing

I'll be home before I know

And if I was an angel, I'd have a long way to go
