Angels on Her Shoulders

She walked right in

As time slowed down

But not enough

To keep me from ordering up

Another round

In a bottomless cup

That I had found

In the hopes of never waking up the

Jukebox played

An old country song

About steel guitars

And how he'll try his level best

To get along

In the same old bar

Though friends gone wrong

Well he once had love but I never got that far

She must have angels on her shoulders

Their light wherever she may be

She says the angels do not know her

I guess I'm the only one who sees.

So I got my drink

And my fix my rose

But I need much more

Then this powdered blue and rented tuxedo

I need a line

A-something she don't know

Cause' she's probably heard them all a thousand times

So I caught her eye

For the next song

And the waltz replaced

The tango like she knows that I don't belong

In these shoes

I feel all wrong

But that's just my pride, what have I got to lose?

Well last call called

But I didn't hear

I was too busy looking

At her across the remnants of my beer

She stood to leave

And then it all came clear

That life without her was all I had to fear

You must have angels on your shoulders

Their light wherever you may be

She asks me would I like to show her?

I think I might be just the guy you need.
