Correction Lyrics If I Was An Angel by Kim Carnes

Back

Lyrics

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

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
