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
Mama 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
If was an angel, I'd fly over Jordan
Wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul
Maybe that's a good thing, I'll be home before I know
'Cause if I was an angel, I'd have a long way to go
Got a job as a waitress
Oh, tonight I'll be dreaming of the cracks in the sidewalk
The face through the window, back to the place I belong
Ooh
Chorus
Well maybe that's a good thing, I'll be home before I know
And I was an angel, I'd have a long to way go
