The Angel

Em G D The Angel of Death came again today Em G D Took some poor souls life away Em G I raced as fast as I could D C To get there by his side Em G D But that angel swept him away Em G D Yes that angel swept him away Em G And I fly down the highway D C Got no time to k**l Em G D Only the Lord knows if we’ll win Em G It’s a race against the clock D C The golden hour’s all he’s got Em G D There’s a desperation in the cool night wind Em G D Can’t let that angel win again Em G Stop to grab a quick bite to eat D C And once again they’re calling me Em G D She’s tired of life and she took some pills Em G Her husband left and her momma died D C No one left to stand by her side Em G D Lonely nights leave a bitter chill Em G D No one else knows how she feels Em G And I fly down the highway D C Got no time to k**l Em G D Only the Lord knows if we’ll win Em G It’s a race against the clock D C The golden hour’s all he’s got Em G D There’s a desperation in the cool night wind Em G D Can’t let that angel win again Em G Woke up at 2 O’clock D C Can’t stop now don’t have time to walk Em G D She ran her car off of a bridge Em G Wipe her tears out of her eyes D C As she tells her baby goodbye Em G D Another young soul was lost today Em G D Why did her life have to end this way Em G And I fly down the highway D C Got no time to k**l Em G D Only the Lord knows if we’ll win Em G It’s a race against the clock D C The golden hour’s all he’s got Em G D There’s a desperation in the cool night wind Em G D Can’t let that angel win again
