Angel Made Me Do It
I was sittin' at the counter of a greasy spoon
By myself, a cup of coffee I was howlin' at the moon
Jukebox was playin' some ole' hillbilly tune
about the devil and his fiddle of gold
The waitress in the back was busy burnin' my toast
When all a sudden in the lot there came a cry like a dose
It was a throttle headed Chevy with a thing from the coast
I gotta say it was a sight to behold
But when I saw that drivers eyes
I knew tonight somehow I met my future bride
I never thought I'd settle down
But the angel made me do it… the angel made me do it
I'm spreadin' the news all over town
the angel made me do it… the angel made me want to fall in love
I sat and watched the vision as she stepped through the door
And yes I know it sounds amazing but by then I was sure
That this beauty of a beauty made my heart feelin' more
And made that coldness in the night into spring
I used ta think its silly all this love at first sight
But when I felt it I just felt it and my brain said goodnight
Oh I can feel it even fasten to that cold cold night
Cause it was clinging to my angel's wings
It was clingin' & clangin' & clingin' & clangin'
clingin' to my angel's wings
It was clingin' & clangin' & clingin' & clangin'
clingin' to my angel's wings
I know you're thinkin' this can't last
But this love is deeper than some passe' golden calf
I never thought I'd settle down
But the angel made me do it
the angel made me do it
I'm spreadin' the news all over town
the angel made me do it
the angel made me want to fall in love
Widower's Song
Some nights I still hear her voice
That soft gentle whisper I'd known
The same voice the preacher said would fade through the years
But that was 10 long years ago
I've tried my best to move on
The tired old widowers song
I sang to you many times and you ease my mind
Now I'm losing the strength to be strong
I'm not the first to church on Sundays
And there's some mornings I don't show up at all
Forgive me dear lord, for all my little jokes only
And I'll forgive you, your big joke on me
I seen how the road back is long
With many knots I couldn't mend
But I wonder how long I must to travel this path
Paved with cobblestones of grief and regret
I'm sure there are others more deserving
So to you all I can do is pray and plead
Forgive me dear lord, for all my little jokes only
And I'll forgive you, your big joke on me
I don't mean to sound ungrateful
For I know that your love lights the way
You can count on me to be faithful
Even though everyday feels like judgment day
I'm not the first to church on Sundays
And there's some mornings I don't show up at all
Forgive me dear lord, for all my little jokes only
And I'll forgive you, your big joke on me

Beginning of the End
I saw you downtown walkin around with a sparkle in your eyes
That look on your face sent me back in time
And just being you when our love was anew walkin' in the clouds
were you thinking of me or thinking of someone else
I may be wrong but its been so long since we felt like friends
This don't feel alright set it straight tonight is this the beginning of the end
When you come home late I hesitate to ask you where you've been
I'm afraid of the truth but moreso to pretend oh yeah
And the cell phone rings my heart sings wonderin' who's on the other line
I hear you whispering and it makes me tremble inside
I may be wrong but its been so long since we felt like friends
This don't feel alright set it straight tonight is this the beginning of the end
Life is your smile and the softness of your touch
Can you hold me in your arms or is the honesty too much
Ooh I may be wrong but its been so long since we felt like friends
This don't feel alright set it straight tonight is this the beginning of the end
Sweet Wingless Angel
Sweet wingless angel, your so easily deceived
And its time that you faced it
if I'm your Adam your not Eve
I'm unwashed and sullied and yet you walk in purity
Sweet wingless angel fly from me
When I pulled out of Austin I was bloody from the hounds
Yes I ran from that marshal before I shot him to the ground
I've got this funny feelin' where I'm headed
There ain't no angels to be found
Sweet wingless angel fly from me
Sweet wingless angel fly from me
I Built Me A Bridge
I built me a bridge from a telephone wire
balance from that tightrope with ease
I built me a bridge in a booth on a highway
And all the while we're shootin' the breeze
I built me a bridge with a chord and a memory
Worked it till I fell to my knees
I built me a bridge across the country
But that bridge won't bring my baby to me
I built me a bridge near the truck stop with cars(?)
Built it closer year after year
I built me a bridge at a station and rail
And made my feelings perfectly clear
I built me a bridge with a thought and a memory
Worked it till I fell to my knees
I built me a bridge across the country
But that bridge won't bring my baby to me
Chapel Hill's so far away
Further I step in Philly PA
Arching over wecansow (?)
But this bridge has started takin' its toll
I built me a bridge it was bigger than a skyscraper
With telegrams and poetry read
I built me a bridge on hopes and intentions
But now I'm wonderin' where this things lead
Chapel Hill's so far away
Further I step in Philly PA
Arching over wecansow (?)
But this bridge has started takin' its toll
I built me a bridge
