If I Were An Angel

(Matraca Berg&Gary Harrison) 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 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 And 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 God forsaken place
