{intro}
She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast moving train
Watched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brain
Seemed like a good time at the time, rolling down that track
Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket back
SheUs a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh
{instrumental; see tab at end for one riff}
She's so very hungry for a piece of Mama's pie
Oh, yeah {instrumental}
There's a road ahead and a road behind
All roads lead to home this time
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired
