Key: G
Introduction:
G
Grew up one state north of Kentucky
D
Family far from rollin' in the money
Em7 D/F# C9
7 brothers and sisters to feed and love
G
Granddaddy said she kept her eyes on the sky
D
Watchin' all the little birds fly
Em7 D/F# C9
Staring at heaven like her lost home
Em7 D/F# C9
None of her dreams held fame and fortune
Em7 D/F# C9
She wanted a husband and children that loved her
Chorus
G
Spreading' her wings her feet left ground in Indian
D
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
Em7 D/F# C9
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
G
She never cussed or drank, kept on the table
D
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
Em7 D/F# C9
She's a God sent blessing wiling and able
As Indiana's angel
G
Baby back home your daddy's dying
D
'Bout then the kind of perfect timing,
Em7 D/F# C9
Walked in with liquor on my breath
G
I sit and watch all of her tears glisten
D
She said, "Son you'll learn to listen,
Em7 D/F# C9
A man stands taller from his knees"
Em7 D/F# C9
And I'll never forget how much that hurt
Em7 D/F# C9
She said, "Son one day I'll be gone you wont have to hear these words"
Chorus
G
Spreading' her wings her feet left ground in Indian

Driving down south just to marry my daddy
Em7 D/F# C9
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
G
She never cussed or drank, kept on the table
D
Hell, I kept her on her knees in prayer
Em7 D/F# C9
She's a God sent blessing wiling and able
Em7 D C9
As Indiana's angel , Indian's angel
Chorus
G
Spreading' her wings her feet left ground in Indian
D
Driving down south just to marry my daddy
Em7 D/F# C9
Leaving the life she'd known and loved behind
