Now you've been up and you've been down
Stayed strong even though daddy wasn't around
My momma through the thick and the thin beginning to end
And though I be sinning you keep me livin' with that love that you givin'
It's unconditional hey the sun shines when I see a smile on ya face
My momma with the money and jewels the record and tours
I'd give it away if I could make your days happy days
And when my hearts broke and can't cope I'm comin' on home
To remember the reason why I was born
Cuddle up inside your heavenly arms you help me weather the storm
You love music so I put it in song
[Chorus]
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
[Verse 2]
I wasn't born wild you know you raised me right
But the roads of Alabama called me into the night
From the coke and the weed and extacy
I'm lost in the streets but you still remain next to me
The blood that I bleed it flows through your veins
Even in my lowest point I can still hear your words to my brain
First time I was arrested mommas love was tested
I couldn't contest it so here's my confession you're my blessing
You're the reason I believe you're the reason I sing
You're the reason angels tangle me in heavenly things
It's been a long road so hard and cold
But you keepin' me warm with your heart of gold
[Chorus]
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
[Verse 3]
You're the light at the end of the tunnel the break of the day
After the darkest night chasing all the evil away
You're my flowers and sunshine cherries and red wine
Diamonds they can't find shining through hard times
You're the angel on Earth the proof there's a God
The reason to keep on going you're my light in the dark
The first star in the sky and the last to leave
And when I'm travelin' through the night I feel your light on me
[Chorus]
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
She's an Angel workin' on God's train
She's an Angel workin' on me
I can see
when you stay low nothing happens
does it feel right ?
Late at night
things I thought I put behind me
haunt my mind
I just know there´s no escape
now once it sets its eyes on you
but I won´t run, have to stare it in the eye
Stand my ground, I won´t give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won´t close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don´t make it, someone else will
stand my ground
It´s all around
getting stronger, coming closer
into my world
I can feel
that it´s time for me to face it
can I take it?
Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear
but I won´t run, there´s no turning back from here
Stand my ground (repeat chorus)
All I know for sure is I´m trying
I will always stand my ground
Stand my ground, I won´t give in (I won´t give in)
I won´t give up (I won´t give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won´t close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground, I won´t give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won´t close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don´t make it, someone else will
stand my ground
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren´t we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you´d unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there´s been too much of this
Dont think its too late
Nothin´s wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you´re wondering when
(You´re the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you´re wondering when
Well i hoped that since we´re here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we´ve always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story´s played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothin´s wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you´re wondering when
(You´re the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you´re wondering when
(You´re the only one who knows that)

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
Won't stop till they've reached their dreams
Diet pills, surgery
Photo shop pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy
Is anybody gonna save me
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong
I guess things aren't how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's World War 3
No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
And money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy
Is anybody gonna save me
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong
Is everybody going crazy
Is everybody going crazy
Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV's
When kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I´ve had it with this game
I´m breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain´t close in a place like this
Anything goes but don´t blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain´t close in a place like this
I said heaven ain´t close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I´d let a rumor ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It´s not confidential
I´ve got potential
Ready? Let´s roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I´m leaving without you
I´m ready, let´s roll onto something new
But heaven ain´t close in a place like this
Anything goes but don´t think you might live
´Cause heaven ain´t close in a place like this
I said heaven ain´t close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I´d let a rumor ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It´s not confidential
I´ve got potential
A rushin´, a rushin´ around
Pace yourself for me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don´t know now
When all I wanna do is try
[x3]
Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It´s not confidential
I´ve got potential
A rushin´, a rushin´ around
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
tonight
Deep into her dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I`m going down so frail and cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch, my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel
I, I´m driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I´ll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain´t hanging out with me tonight
I´m driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don´t know that you were missing
She´d be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I´ve been kissing
Screamin´
[CHORUS]
No, we´re never gonna quit
Ain´t nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we´re animals
No, no matter where we go
´Cause everybody knows
We´re just a couple of animals
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we´re in
You´re beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It´s hard to steer when you´re breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
´Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I´m screamin´
[CHORUS]
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we´re in
We were parked out by the tracks
We´re sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think ´cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin´
"That´s my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they´re not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screamin´
[CHORUS]
So come on baby, get in
We´re just a couple of animals
Get in, just get in
Ain´t nothing wrong with it
Check out the trouble we´re in
Get in, just get in
