ANGELS IN THE RAFTERS

THERE’S ANGELS IN THE RAFTERS
LIKE SMOKE OF CIGARETTES
AND THE YEARS ARE PASSING BY
AND THE ANGELS MULTIPLY


THERE’S A PAIN BENEATH MY CHEST
THERE’S A SONG BEHIND MY EYES
A SONG I’M SINGING IN MY SLEEP
OH I HAVE DONE MY BEST AND I CAN SLEEP EASY
THESE ANGELS RAFTERS
THESE ANGELS IN THE RAFTERS


I HEAR YOU IN THE AIRWAVES

I HEARD YOUR SONG AGAIN TODAY

AND EVERYWHERE I TURN

ARE THE LESSONS THAT I’VE LEARNED 

FROM THE ANGELS IN THE RAFTERS


THERE’S A PAIN BENEATH MY CHEST
THERE’S A SONG BEHIND MY EYES
A SONG I’M SINGING IN MY SLEEP
I HAVE DONE MY BEST AND I CAN SLEEP EASY
THESE ANGELS RAFTERS
THESE ANGELS IN THE RAFTERS
THESE ANGELS IN THE RAFTERS

HELL OR HIGH WATER

800 MILE MARKER
LISTENING TO THE RADIO
SOMEHOW BRINGS ME HOME
HE’S SINGING ABOUT A ABOUT A GIRL
THAT HE LEFT BEHIND
YOU WERE ON MIND


DASHBOARD LIGHTS
TRUCKS A PASSING
THE ROADS GETTING OLD
NEVER WAS ONE
WITH TOO MANY WORDS TO THROW
BUT HERE I GO


HELL OR HIGH WATER
I'LL BE COMIN HOME TO YOU
RUNNIN AND RIDING FEELS LIKE I'M DYING
SO I TAKE OUT MY PICTURES OF YOU
ALL THESE MILES
NEVER STOPPED US FROM TRYIN
HELL OR HIGH WATER
I'LL BE COMIN HOME TO YOU

LORD I MISS YOU
THE THRUWAYS GETTIN SNOW
PRAYING GODSPEED
WILL ALWAYS GET ME HOME
PASSING ALL THESE HOUSE
OF PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW BUT YOU KEEP ME ROLLING DOWN THAT
ROAD

HELL OR HIGH WATER
I'LL BE COMIN HOME TO YOU
RUNNIN AND RIDING FEELS LIKE I'M DYING
SO I TAKE OUT MY PICTURES OF YOU
ALL THESE MILES
NEVER STOPPED US FROM TRYIN
HELL OR HIGH WATER
I'LL BE COMIN HOME TO YOU

WITCH IN THE WOODS

THERE’S A WITCH IN THE WOODS
A COUPLE OF MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVE
ALL THE CHILDREN RUN AWAY
I THINK I’LL MARRY HER ONE-DAY


SOMEBODY SAID SHE TALKS TO THE DEAD
AND MADE OLD REVEREND BILLY KILL THAT KID
BUT THAT DON’T MATTER MUCH TO ME
CUZ I’M GONNA BE WITH HER ONE DAY


I’M GONNA BUY MYSELF A BIG BLACK CADILLAC
AND I’M GONNA THROW THAT WITCH

YEAH RIGHT IN THE BACK
AND OFF TO MEMPHIS WE WILL GO AND
WE WILL LET OUR DARK LOVE GROW


DUST


I’M GONNA BUY MYSELF A BIG BLACK CADILLAC
AND I’M GONNA THROW THAT WITCH

YEAH RIGHT IN THE BACK
AND OFF TO MEMPHIS WE WILL GO AND
WE WILL LET OUR DARK LOVE GROW

BORN TO WALK ALONE

THE NIGHT WAS COLD AND BLACK AND

I WAS LOOKIN FOR SOME LOVIN
I HAD JUST LOST MY GIRL FALSE HEARTIN WAS THE REASON
POURED MYSELF A WHISKEY AND I STIRRED IT WITH A NAIL
MATCHED THAT RUSTED HEART OF MINE

AND MADE MY MIND A JAIL


BORN TO WALK ALONE
DOWN THAT OPEN ROAD’S WHERE I BELONG
TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN. IT’S THAT SAME OLD SONG THAT NEVER ENDS
SO FAREWELL MY FALSE HEARTED FRIEND

WELL IT WAS COMIN’ AROUND TO MIDNIGHT AND I WAS TOO WIRED FOR SLEEPING
I WENT DOWN TO THAT CORNER BAR AND

I BOUGHT MYSELF SOME FREEDOM
FROM THAT BROKEN BAR STOOL A SONG CAME TO BE
A SONG FOR ALL THE BROKEN HEARTS

THAT LIVE INSIDE OF ME


BORN TO WALK ALONE
DOWN THAT OPEN ROAD’S WHERE I BELONG
TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN. IT’S THAT SAME OLD SONG THAT NEVER ENDS
FAREWELL MY FALSE HEARTED FRIEND


BORN TO WALK ALONE
DOWN THAT OPEN ROAD’S WHERE I BELONG
TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN. IT’S THAT SAME OLD SONG THAT NEVER ENDS
SO FAREWELL MY FALSE HEARTED FRIEND


BORN TO WALK ALONE
DOWN THAT OPEN ROAD’S WHERE I BELONG
TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

IT’S THAT SAME OLD SONG THAT NEVER ENDS
SO FAREWELL MY FALSE HEARTED FRIEND
FARE THE WELL MY FALSE HEARTED FRIEND
ADIOS MY FALSE HEARTED FRIEND
AU REVOIR MY FALSE HEARTED FRIEND
