Kim Carnes — If I Was An Angel

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 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 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 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
