Текст песни If I Was an Angel - Kim Carnes

They say I latched onto you
Like you were 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
Now, won't you come back home?"

And if I was an angel
I would fly over Jordan
I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul
Well, maybe that's a good thing
I'll be home before I know
If I was an angel
I'd have a long way to go

Now I got a job as a waitress
In this godforsaken place
There's no choosing where you land
Once you fall from grace
Now I'm not sure what keeps me here
My shame or my fool pride
Well, neither one can give me wings
Or offer me a ride

If I was an angel
I would fly over Jordan
And I wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul
Well, maybe that's a good thing
I'll be home before I know
And if I was an angel
I'd have a long way to go

And woah, tonight I'll be dreaming
Of the cracks in the sidewalk
And a face through the window
And it's back to a place I belong

Oh, and if I was an angel
I would fly over Jordan
Wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul
Well, maybe that's a good thing
I'll be home before I know
'Cause if I was an angel
I'd have a long way to go
Well, maybe that's a good thing
I'll be home before I know
And if I was an angel
I'd have a long way to go
